Kid’s Closet Ministry Pack-a-Backpack Event a Success

Posted on July 25, 2017
Author Anita Goodan, WKVI

The volunteers behind the Pack-a-Backpack event call Saturday’s school supply drive a success. School supplies were purchased from members of the community to help students in need through the Kid’s Closet Ministry at the North Judson United Methodist Church at 210 Central Ave.

Any Starke County student in kindergarten through 12th grade who qualifies for free or reduced lunch is welcome to attend the 5th annual Kid’s Closet Pack-a-Backpack on Monday, July 31 and Tuesday, Aug. 1. School supplies may be chosen at that time. The child must be present and the parent must have proper identification.

Kankakee Valley REMC employees delivered cases of school supplies to the church last week to help in the supply drive. Items were purchased by Kankakee Valley REMC members and community residents. REMC has been a part of this effort for four years in each of the communities they serve: Lake, Porter, Starke, St. Joseph, Pulaski, Marshall, and La Porte Counties.
