For many years, St. James' CARE Committee has worked with the guidance counselor of William Lenoir Middle School to help children in need. Our parish has developed a special relationship with the middle school over the years. Last month the counselor requested donations for back-to-school supplies, hygiene items and snacks. Many parents are not able to afford all of the supplies necessary for the new school year, and children who do not have hygiene items are often bullied and suffer from self-esteem issues.
The people of St. James always respond to requests for these specific items that have such a positive impact on our community's children. Many parishioners brought soap, shampoo, deodorant, notebooks and a myriad of snacks for the middle schoolers throughout September. These items will be much used and much appreciated.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our donation drive!
