SJ September Outreach
Our Outreach for September will benefit Bright Futures Frederick-Winchester. We are collecting single serve food items (select the Food List button below for a list of items needed) or cash. This organization provides weekend backpacks of food for over 700 students from nine (9) Frederick County and four (4) Winchester City schools who are experiencing food insecurity at home. They would like the program to grow and foresee between 2,000 to 2,500 students who are in need. Please see Sarah Murphy with any questions you may have.
September Outreach Update:
We were able to collect and donate $40 and 59 items to benefit our September Outreach Project for Frederick/Winchester Bright Futures. Sarah Murphy has delivered the money and items. Great job, thanks to all who made this possible!
