July 1-31

Backpacks are good for more than just school supplies! With that in mind, United Women in Faith will provide backpacks to agencies that serve a variety of people in our community who could use a new, practical bag to hold personal items, travel necessities, baby and child items, clothes, or even traditional school supplies. You can be part of this initiative! Each $10 donation provides one backpack.
