MINISTRY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE & OUTREACH
Donations due Monday, August 19!
The School Tools Drive is an easy way to join together with area faith communities and organizations to help children in our community who are affected by poverty. Each year, we collect new backpacks and school essentials to benefit children from families with low-income who are served through nine different programs in Greater Saint Paul. Annually faith communities, businesses, and individuals collect more than $24,000 of school supplies to fill hundreds of backpacks! St. Paul's UCC is the host site once again this year!
