The Greene County Mission
Christmas Backpack Project
For
the past six years we have organized the Christmas Backpack Project for area
children. The purpose is to provide area children with a small Christmas gift (a
backpack) filled with many items that to some may seem like everyday
necessities, but are often luxuries to the children who recieve them.
Our backpacks are filled to the brim with toothbrushes and toothpaste, socks, hats, gloves, hair brush and comb, pens, pencils, shampoo, bubble bath, hand lotion, a small gift...and the list goes on and on.
With the help of St. Ferdinand Parish in
Cranberry, the congregation of Claughton Chapel Church, and many other
individuals and organizations, we are able to pack and distribute over 125
backpacks each year.
It is always amazing the generosity of those who wish to reach out to their neighbors in need. If you would like to help with this project, please contact us by email: sfazzini@yahoo.com
