Thank You:
Faith’s School Supply Distribution for 2017 was a great success, thanks to the generous people of Faith. To date, we have helped 108 students with backpacks and school supplies so they are ready for the new year. This number will probably climb as we near the start of school. Many Grantsburg families are thankful for this mission and express themselves in thanks, smiles and tears. We are the hands of Jesus here in Grantsburg! |

SCHOOL SUPPLY MISSION:
In 2014, 117 students (Pre-K -- high school) were able to get a new back pack and the majority of their school supplies. Grantsburg Lions Club partnered with Faith, for the first time, so we were able to expand to meet the growing need in our school district. We had another successful year in 2015.
It isn't too early to watch for big school supply sales. Donations are always welcome, too. Sometimes this is the best way so that we can shop for certain specific items (scientific calculators, etc.). For more information on how to help, contact Sally Craven or Sheila in the church office. Monetary donations can be left in the office.
