The Saint Matthews United Methodist Church Outreach Ministry needs your support through monetary donations to purchase bookbags/backpacks and supplies for Gillespie Park Elementary and Grimsley High School, local schools in our community. Due to the temporary closure of Swann Middle School, the additional support will go to another middle school at our Back to School Bash in August.

If you would like to honor or give in memory of an educator, email Ramona Miller with your educator’s name and/or short message for the students. 

Please submit your financial donations to Saint Matthews United Methodist Church by Sunday, Aug. 4, via one of the following ways: 

• Saint Matthews UMC website: https://stmattchurch.com/ 
• In-person donation(s) during the worship service 
• Present your donation to an Outreach Ministry co-chair — Ramona Miller or Cora Mathewson 

Please reference BOOK BAG DRIVE on your donation, either by listing it on your offering envelope, noting it on the memo line of your check/money order, or selecting it on the church website.  

Only financial donations will be accepted. The committee will purchase the book bags and supplies in bulk.

Thank you in advance for having the backs of the children and youth in our community!
