SOCC and Salvation Army are partnering again this year to provide back to school supplies, backpacks, and new socks, underwear and shoes for students in need. This year several other churches have joined the effort as well as the Pourhouse Cafe' and Spirit 95FM. Last year, the first for this partnered event, over 400 backpacks full of supplies were given out. We anticipate the need to be even greater this year. During distribution we will also provide haircuts for children. See below for a list of items and volunteers needed. Let’s send the children of Bloomington back to school prepared for the year. Sign up in the foyer today.
