Hey NewSpring, Your Generosity IS Making A Difference

Sep 18, 2013

Hey NewSpring Church, because of your generosity we were able to go into 10 schools across the state in August and give 6,638 children a backpack full of school supplies.  Here is just one of the stories that has been reported back to us...

My name is (name omitted) and I am a school bus driver for Anderson district 5. Most of the kids I pick up are from low income families so I always know when "shoe day" is as they call it lol. I just wanted to let you know that I'm sure the families appreciate the shoes and the school supplies that are given out, but in my opinion the reflective back packs that were donated this year are awesome! I pick up my first child at 6:10 in the morning and drive to homeland park and then varennes. It is dark the whole time that I am going to these schools. I have many multi pick up spots and they come from all directions and can be very dangerous not only for me to see them but for other cars as well. I would guess that 95% of my kids have one of those reflective back packs on and I can now see them from a great distance. They look like little flashlights in the road! Thanks so much for your donation of what I think is a very important safety item for them !

Thank you again for the way you give...it is making a HUGE difference!
