THE 22 CHILDREN LIVING IN THE SOUTH BAY SHELTER are in need of supplies for the upcoming school year. These necessities include pants, shorts, shirts, socks, shoes, underwear, backpacks, and various school supplies. In the coming weeks, case workers will take the children to Walmart to pick out their supplies. They are estimating it will cost about $150 per child. If you would like to donate and help these kids start off their school year on a positive note, please place your donation in a tithe envelope and mark it “women’s shelter.”
