Operation Backpack - 2011

Once again in 2011, Boulevard will be partnering with That Neighborhood Church (aka TNC), an inner city church in North Toledo, to collect and provide filled backpacks for inner city kids, right here in our hometown of Toledo. 

Please help us make sure boys and girls start the school year off fully supplied by purchasing a new backpack and delivering it to the Boulevard office or coatroom filled with the following items:

     ·        #2 Pencils – 1 pack

·        Crayons – 1 pack

·        Lined Notebook paper – 2 packs

·        Children’s Scissors – 1

·        Spiral Notebooks – 5

·        Folders – 3

·        Tissue boxes – 2

·        Wetwipes

·        Extra Items…

o   Undergarments

o   Gloves/Mittens

o   Socks

Please mark backpacks with masking tape or a tag that says girl or boy so we know how to distribute.  Drop filled packs off at the church for the next 4 weeks.  They will be picked up August 8th and 9th and delivered to That Neighborhood Church in North Toledo for distribution.

Operation Christmas Child - 2011

 Our Missions Committee is in the process of revamping our Operation Christmas Child project for 2011.  We will still be participating but will be doing things differently beginning in September.  A  big thank you to Kathy Dale for heading it up the past 12 years, enabling us to donate 5,304 shoeboxes to the children in third world countries! 

Please stay tuned for further information.
