Beginning August 1 and continuing through Bless Our School Sunday (August 24), we are once again collecting school supplies for our beloved Jeffreys Grove Elementary community. This annual outreach has become one of our most joyful and generous traditions. Thanks to you, we’ve been able to provide an abundance of supplies each year that bless students, teachers, and staff in big ways.

 

These items aren’t just tools—they’re signs of love, support, and solidarity. For families already juggling tight budgets, your donations help lift a burden. For students, they become confidence-builders and reminders that someone cares. And for educators, your generosity provides support and helps classrooms run more smoothly from day one.

As part of our Bless Our School Sunday, we'll be accepting donations of school supplies for the students of Jeffreys Grove Elementary School. Let's come together and make a positive impact in our community!
