Back to School Drive! New Green Apples Coming May 28th!
Who is ready to join us in serving the community for our biggest back to school event yet?
We partnered with Hope Active and Clear Creek Independent School District to provide backpacks and school supply sets to deserving families and students.
Did you know that 2 out of 5 kids will start the school year off without the necessary supplies? Our goal is to ensure that every student in our local school district can start the school year off on the right foot. Will you help? The goal for Hope Active is to serve a thousand students! And we at your Christian Action are hoping to at least sponsor 150 students with your help.
Please consider sponsoring a student or two. For $60, a deserving student will receive a brand-new backpack and school supplies for a whole year. You may write a check out to St. Bernadette, and write “HOPE ACTIVE” on the memo, or to donate directly online go to the link https://donorbox.org/back-to-school-bash-1 or scan the following QR code
. ALL THE FUNDS ARE DUE BY JULY 1ST!
