Churches use VBS to give back in a BIG way
Communities In Schools of Lexington/Davidson County is thankful this morning for the young people of First and Second Reformed United Church of Christ. They used their Vacation Bible School as a platform to collect hundreds of school supplies, which they donated to CIS.
The supplies have been added to others donated by Walmart shoppers through the Build A Backpack campaign and by attendees of the NewBridge Bank Football and Cheerleading Jamboree. We’re also expecting to receive supplies from Walgreens stores in Lexington, Thomasville and High Point.
All of the supplies CIS collects, whether they come from generous young people or from corporate retailers, will go directly into the hands of the students who need them most. We receive calls daily from parents struggling to outfit their children with the necessary supplies and it is only with the help of our amazing community that we are able to accommodate all the requests.
Thank you First and Second Reformed UCC. And thank you to all others who have made it possible for our students to have the same chance as everyone else to succeed in the classroom.
