School Program |
|
Back to school can be a fun and exciting time for kids. For some parents it can be a struggle to provide the supplies and clothing needed. The Vina Moses Center helps families make it a bit easier. Each child, in grades K-12 will have their own shopping day and will receive new shoes, socks, underwear and school supplies. Each child is allowed to pick an outfit from our very good used clothing. Therefore, donations of good clean children's clothing suitable for school are needed for the program. Jackets, backpacks and clothing size 6-14 for boys and girls are especially needed. We served over 900 children last year!

Welcome to the Vina Moses Center |
Dear Friends, |
How can the summer go so quickly? It's hard to believe school will be starting in less than a month! That means it is time here at the Vina Moses Center to prepare for our Annual School Program. We already have several hundred children registered for new shoes, socks, underwear, school supplies and clothing. Last year we helped more than 900 children and we expect the same number again this year. The cost for shoes has taken a substantial increase. We will need your help more than ever this year. You can sponsor a child for just $50.00, donate new clothing, back packs or school supplies. Our program begins on August 19,2009 and we will gladly accept donations through September.
Thank you for supporting families in Benton County.
Christine Duffney
Executive Director

Your Contributions
At
Vina Moses, we strive to provide assistance to those in need of a helping
hand. Our policy of providing household goods and services free of charge
to our patrons means that we are dependent on the generosity of the community,
the people of Benton County, not only in donations of goods , but also
of financial contributions. Since the recent funding cutbacks by United
Way we are more dependent than ever on your dollars to make the good work
of the center continue.
Consider making a donation today. Every dollar helps !!
