Sharefest: Help a Needy Child With a Backpack

There are many children throughout Lake and McHenry Counties whose family does not have the money to buy the neccessary school supplies for their children. There is a way you can help fill this need. A group of churches have formed a group named Catalyst. They are organizing a Sharefest to buy and fill backpacks for these children.

Sharefest excerpt from The Chapel website:

The Chapel will help provide 1,400 backpacks to people who need them in Lake and McHenry County. Pickup dates for the backpacks are July 23, 29 and 30. Drop-off dates for the backpacks are August 5, 6, 12 and 13. For more information, contact Stacia Gibson at staciagibson@chapel.org.

You can pay $3 and pick up a list of the suplies needed or you can just pay $20 and someone else will take care of getting the supplies. This makes it convenient for all to help a needy child.

If your church is not a part of Catalyst, then please encourage to get more information about this groups of churches and how it can impact the community by calling 847-201-2777.

If you don’t like religious organizations, you can also provide a backpack through the Lake County United Way.
