Last Wednesday night we had an exciting night of sorting the school supplies gathered by the YMCA and stuffing them into the backpacks donated by you, South Shores Church.

Our goal was one hundred backpacks. And you provided 194! We had already given 33 of those away to another YMCA in Orange County, so we (in less than an hour) sorted and stuffed 161 backpacks! What a great night!

A great big thank you to Erik Rees, Marcia Marsala, Jennifer Heinen, the CARES team and all of South Shores Church for your generosity.
