Texarkana Provides School Supplies to Those in Need

TEXARKANA, TEX. – The Texarkana Seventh-day Adventist Church’s women’s ministries has reached out to the community in many ways by ministering to the homeless shelter and to the battered women’s shelter and by supplying comfort bags for children in stressful situations. 

This fall they also distributed school supplies to the community. The women advertised the event by handing out flyers at two food banks and at store parking lots and posting the event on Facebook. On the day of the event, a good turnout of church members helped with the school supply distribution, which began July 28 at 2 p.m. in the church parking lot. A long line was gathered by 1:30 p.m., and the first 100 attendees received a free backpack. A table of free church literature was at the last table, and almost everyone stopped to take books.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event successful.
