Dixon's Back-to-School Big Give!

Summer has just begun, but Living Hope is in the process of planning an incredible back-to-school event for the community of Dixon. We're so excited for the opportunity to GIVE BIG to families and children in our town.

On Sunday, August 3rd, we will host this completely free event for families in need. All children will receive a free backpack filled with free school supplies, a free hair cut, free food, and more! They'll have the opportunity to enjoy an inflatable bounce, watch cartoons, enjoy entertainment, and win big prizes. Our hope is to create a day of enjoyment that sends a message to our community that Living Hope CARES!

HOW CAN YOU HELP? There will be many opportunities to help the day of the event. However, we need help NOW in the preparation stages. We need funding, donations of supplies, and people to volunteer time to do some of the leg work preparing bags and paperwork well in advance. In addition, EVERYONE can pick up an item or two each time you run to Wal-Mart, Longs, or Safeway. Here's the list of supplies we're collecting:

24 Pack Crayons
3 Pack Glue Sticks
8 Pack Washable Markers
#2 Pencils
Wooden Rulers
Scissors
Notebook Paper
Pocket Folders with Brads
Small School Supply Boxes

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS! Bring these items to church and drop them in the designated box or barrel near the entry way. Please email Jamie at ragamuffin_kids@yahoo.com if you want to help in any way before the event is here. Thanks for sharing Jesus with the community of Dixon!
