Designed to assist single parents and working couples with income below the annual poverty level, the Christian Community Action Back-to-School donation drive helps eligible pre-K through 12th grade children with a back-pack, books, some clothing items and a new pair of shoes. The average cost per student to provide all of these necessities is approximately $135. FMUMC participates in this annual drive in the month of August. For the 2011-2012 school year, FMUMC contributed $11,981!
You can help by making your generous check payable to “Flower Mound UMC” and noting in the lower left corner, “CCA Back-to-School Program”. The composite church check is delivered to CCA. This is a truly worthy mission goal on a local basis, and only you can help make this a successful FMUMC effort. Let’s do it!!
“Do good...be rich in good works, generous, and ready to share...so that [you] may take hold of life that really is life…” 1 Timothy 6:18-19 (NRSV)
