OPERATION SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Can you believe it? Summer vacation is already half over and the start of a brand new school year is just around the corner! The volunteers of Operation School Supplies, Inc are busy getting ready for this year's distribution of school supplies. In 2009, with the help of our faithful supporters, we distributed school supplies to approximately 2000 needy Hood County children in PreK through 12th grade. Distribution this year is set for August 19, 2010.

The goal of Operation School Supplies, Inc. is to provide school supplies to identified underprivileged children of Hood County. The vision of Operation School Supplies, Inc. is that every child will arrive on the first day of school with his/her backpack full of school supplies...ready to learn and ready to suceed. It takes a lot of time, planning and money to ensure that all needy children in Hood County get their "bright beginning" by having their school supplies in time for their first day of school.

We deeply appreciate all the support you have given to the children of Hood County in the past and hope you will be able to support us again this year by a donation of cash, school supplies or volunteer your time on the day of distribution. Just $25 will send a child back to school with all the supplies they need. you may mail your donations to Operation School Supplies, Inc, PO Box 2403, Granbury, TX 76048. Operation school Supplies, Inc. is a non-porfit organization and your contributions are tax deductible.

To volunteer, please call Virginia Connor 817-573-2454. We will begin packaging school supplies on August 9, 2010. This will be during the day, so if you are able to help please call and Virginia can set you a time to come.

Thank you and God Bless!!
