Isaiah 58 Ministries prepare kids for a successful school year
Isaiah 58 Ministries’ annual Back-to-School event was a day filled with an abundance of activities and wonderful resources for the whole family.
With the help of a multitude of supporting churches, organizations and local agencies, Isaiah 58 Ministries was able to help prepare children and their families for the upcoming school year. Many essentials children need for a successful year in school were distributed including, backpacks and school supplies as well as socks and underwear. Through the generous support of Cardinals Care and Follow Lyn’s Footsteps, each child also received a Shoe Carnival gift card to start their year off with a new pair of shoes.
Eye exams were offered through the Delta Gamma Center and several agencies provided information and resources for families. Supporting congregations provided games and other activities for the children.
Of course we can’t forget the petting zoo. Children and adults alike enjoyed cuddling with a variety of animals including a goat, a miniature donkey, and a pig, along with other cuddly creatures.
So many smiling faces, so many wonderful resources, and so many incredible volunteers helped make it a great success! Thank you everyone for all your hard work, and a special shout out to Joyce Blackwell, for all her work on coordinating the event!
