School Supplies Mission Project, Sundays, February 6-27, 2022
Trinity’s Congregations for Children is delighted to announce our next mission project for Eastway Elementary School. By February, school supplies are depleted, and teachers must buy new supplies with their own funds or do without.
Over the past five years, Trinity has collected school supplies to help Eastway’s teachers and students complete the academic year successfully. With the pandemic raging last year, we switched our late-winter mission project from supplies to children’s face masks, giving around 600 child-sized masks to help protect our youngest neighbors.
This year, a new variant is causing great difficulty, but everyone can still safely participate in the project in one of the following ways. (1) Drop off supplies at the church, assuming we return to in-person worship by February. (2) Drop off school supplies at the home of Felix and Mary Beth Markham. Call 919-801-7983 for directions or to schedule a drop-off time. (3) Mail a check to Trinity UMC with C4C on the memo line, and committee members will shop for you. The most needed supplies are listed below:
Elmer’s Glue Sticks
Tape
Composition books (black and white marbled cover)
Colored Paper
Expo Dry Erase Board
Cleaner
Colored pencils
Markers
Crayons
Sharpies
Pens (black, blue)

Clorox Wipes or similar cleaning supplies
