Backpacks
 Arizona
Reservation Ministries has been thrilled to provide school supplies specifically
requested by teachers tucked inside brand-new back packs for children and teens
of the San Carlos Apache Nation every year since 2004! In August of 2008, over
500 children and teens received their very own back pack and school supplies,
thanks to the generosity of God’s family from across the United States! Besides
this tremendous quantity of supplies, we were also able to deliver a significant
amount of remaining supplies for the Reservation schools to distribute as they
saw a need.
Each year, our lists need a bit of revision as school
needs change. We have discovered that a better way for those living far away to
contribute to this project is to send Wal-Mart or Target gift cards. This saves
our donors large postage expenses, and allows our ARM team to purchase items we
need a bit more of. Wal-Mart also participates in a “site-to-store” program,
whereby you may purchase items at your Wal-Mart, and have them provide the
shipping! Our neighborhood Wal-Mart is located at: 4655 East Hwy. 60, Globe AZ
85501.
*Please note that the deadline for us to receive school
supplies in 2009 is July 1st! (School begins here in Arizona the beginning of
August!)
