The annual Terrace Lake United Methodist Church School Supply Giveaway is coming up. The Terrace Lake United Methodist Church in South Kansas City MO, or TLUMC, is accepting donations of school supplies and school uniforms in an effort to help local families who are falling on hard times. The donations are for the 2009-2010 school year for school supplies and uniforms.

(Terrace Lake United Methodist Church School Supply Giveaway)

Last year, nearly 50 backpacks were collected and filled with school supplies. However, it was not anywhere near enough. There were many more families that needed help and did not receive any help. With the economy the way it is right now, people are needing help more. It is a grave financial strain to have to get school supplies and new uniforms.

What to donate?

Anything that anyone can donate to this cause will be appreciated so much. Below is a list of things the Terrace Lake United Methodist Church will be collecting this year. Their goal is to double what they did last year and to help 100 families. They will be taking donations throughout the spring and summer.

When is the donation deadline?

The donation deadline is 8-1-09.

Examples of what school supplies to donate
1 box washable markers
2 boxes of crayons (16 or more)
1 bottle glue
2 #2 pencils
1 box Kleenex
2 spiral notebooks (70-80 pages) – wide rule
1 large pink eraser
1 set of washable watercolors
2 – 2 pocket folders
1 – black ink pen
1 – bottle hand sanitizer

Donations of school uniforms

On top of school supplies, they are also hoping to collect as many uniforms as possible to help the children who are really going to need it. Since they are focusing on Elementary this year, clothing sizes should be from a Child’s size 5 to size 12.

Below is the uniform requirements:

• Solid white or solid navy collared shirts
• Solid navy or khaki pants, shorts, skirts, skorts, jumpers, Capri pants or pants/slacks of appropriate size (no knit pants, leggings, jogging or cargo pants, no zippers or pockets on pant legs).
