As every year, we are delighted to receive generous back-to-school donations for the children in our Casserly House community.
Once again, our sincere thanks go to the many generous families from the Spirit of Life Community, who donated 10 fully equipped backpacks for our youngest children, expressly prepared for them. Thanks, Irene, for being the bridge between Spirit of Life and Casserly House. School supplies, joy, and gratitude abound.
We also received 90 backpacks from Backpacks for New Beginnings, via a generous family who have been bringing smiles to our children’s faces for years by providing schoolbags for children of all ages. The remaining backpacks are distributed to families in the Archdale community during Family Day late August.
The children and their parents had great fun exploring the wide selection of backpacks and choosing their favorites. We are truly grateful to both Spirit of Life Community and Backpacks for New Beginnings for helping our children start the new school year with confidence and joy.
