Each summer Middle District coordinates the efforts of churches by encouraging the members to collect large quantities of school supplies which are donated to the school boards within our association. In turn, the school social workers distribute these to the neediest families within each school.
Supplies can also be collected throughout the year as they are needed to replenish the supply of the students. Consider a Christmas or after Christmas mission project! If you have questions, please contact Brenda Green in the MDBA office, 276-8481.
2023 Collection Drive – July 1 through August 15*
