We are partnering with First United Methodist Church to provide backpacks and school supplies for local students.

On any Sunday in July, you can bring a backpack to the center filled with supplies appropriate for a student in any age group. Please attach a note to the backpack indicating the intended student’s level (primary grades, intermediate grades, middle school, high school, or college). Small backpacks with art supplies are suggested for toddlers and preschoolers.

If you prefer, you can bring various supplies from the list below or you can write a check to “First United Methodist Church” with “backpacks” in the memo line.

If you have questions, please contact Diane Jackson at (707) 539-9311 or djack8895@prodigy.net.
