Two churches team up to help Manchester students with DRIVE THRU collection on Saturday, August 22nd to Tuesday, August 25th, 9 to 10AM at Concordia Church 40 Pitkin St! St. Mary's Episcopal and Concordia Lutheran will host an abbreviated school supplies drive this year.
We are collecting very specific items for children who are learning in-person. Those items are: #2 pencils, Hand Pencil Sharpeners, Pencil cap erasers, Crayola 12 pack Color Pencils, Crayola 24 pack Crayons, Crayola 10 pack Markers, 12" rulers, Black Sharpies: Fine & extra fine, Hand sanitizer, Tissues, Disposable masks.
Due to Covid-19 restrictions children cannot share materials and will need their own 'instructional kit'. The items donated will go to teachers to replenish the kits throughout the year. There are also marked bins outside the office buildings at St. Mary's (41 Park St. Downtown Manchester) and Concordia Lutheran (40 Pitkin St.) where items can be dropped daily.
