Hi Jeff and St James Service Club Grants Committee Members,

On Sunday, July 30, WAVES 4 K.I.D.S. Board Members and Brunswick County Social Workers stuffed over 200 high quality backpacks with school supplies.  When we were finished, two vans and a pickup truck carried the backpacks to the county offices in Bolivia where they will be distributed to children under the care of the Social Services.  It costs over $300 to purchase and fill just one quality backpack with the supplies required for a child enrolled in a Brunswick County public school.  WAVES 4 K.I.D.S. is very grateful for the grant we received  from  the St James Service Club.  The grant helps us help kids in difficult situations begin the school year with a high quality backpack stuffed with all the supplies needed to begin their school year. 

Attached is a  photo taken on July 30 of our volunteers in front of the two vans stuffed with backpacks.

THANK YOU!
