School Supplies for St. Martin's
August 13, 2025
Our partner parish St. Martin's is once again providing backpacks filled with school supplies to their neighborhood elementary school. This year backpacks will go to children entering kindergarten and 1st grade. Because school begins August 18, the most helpful donations are funds given directly to St. Martin’s by Sunday, August 17, earmarked for the effort.
Please
- Go to St. Martin's website
- Pick one of the donation methods (PayPal or tithe.ly)
- Choose "special offering" and write "school supplies" in the memo line.
St. Martin’s coordinator Laura Kliewer says, “We so appreciate St. James' partnership with us, especially over the last few years, and look forward to seeing and being with you all again soon!!”
