How awesome! The response was GREAT! With only a few weeks notice and the generosity of so many of Orland Park Church members, we were able to put together 54 backpacks of school supplies together for the Lutheran Social Services of Illinois. Lutheran Social Services of Illinois each year, for the past several years, has handed out free backpacks to foster kids at their Heath and Education Expo.
It was exciting to see the bin set aside for dropping off school supplies fill so quickly each Sunday! Our task force had so much fun getting together on Sunday night, August 3rd, to fill each of these backpacks not only with school supplies, but all passing on the caring hearts of all those who had a part in our "Backpacks for foster kids" event.
