Our pantry coordinators recently shared, “Children may be small, but they can be mighty. The kindergarten through fifth grade students of Indian Hill Church’s Vacation Bible School proved that this August.
Molly Milligan, coordinator of the program, reached out to NEEDS to request a speaker to talk to the students about the mission and work of NEEDS. She and her team also encouraged students and their families to collect food during the week to donate to NEEDS on the program’s final day. Their efforts focused on peanut butter and boxed cereal, currently most needed items at the pantry. Every item donated helped to restock empty pantry shelves for the coming weeks.”
A big thank you to the families of Indian Hill Church! Click HERE to learn more about how you can help NEEDS serve our community.
NEEDS is holding our annual Student Assistance Drive!
In just a few weeks, students in the Deer Park, Sycamore, and Princeton districts will return to school – but many families in these districts cannot afford school supplies, or even necessities like food and clothing. NEEDS is seeking donations of gift cards and money to help purchase supplies for the beginning of the school year, and to provide students with warm winter clothing in December. You can help!
What to donate:
– Gift cards from stores such as Walmart, Target, and Kroger
– Visa and Mastercard gift cards
– Gas cards (many families live in areas where busing is not available)
– Check (marked for Student Assistance Drive)
Please mail your gift card or check to:
