Thank you Holy Trinity family for generously donating items to the 2019 WELCA school kit collection. We have sufficient supplies to fill 52 school bags and will be taking them up to the Lutheran World Relief warehouse in New Windsor MD in November for overseas transport.
Lutheran World Relief reminds us:
“Education is one of the strongest tools a community has for breaking the cycle of poverty. Ensuring that girls attend school, especially in places where their access is deprioritized, has even stronger results. School Kits contain essential supplies to help children – and in some cases, adults – continue learning in the face of serious obstacles. That learning leads to a better life for them, their families and their communities.”
Well done Holy Trinity!
Each Fall Holy Trinity’s WELCA (Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) group puts together SCHOOL KITS for Lutheran World Relief. Last year the congregation was asked to contribute to this effort and the results were amazing! This year our goal is to fill another 50 kits.
