BACK-TO-SCHOOL NEEDS

 

 

Many children in the Route 1 community need assistance with basic

school supplies as classes resume in September.  United Community Ministries (UCM)

attempts to alleviate some of the financial strain this need imposes upon

some of the more destitute of families. 

Thanks to your support in August of 2009 UCM was able to provide

over 800 students with school supplies and backpacks

UCM needs the help of others in the community to provide this assistance.
