After nearly 100 days of working on the house, sorting school supplies, vacationing and delivering supplies to 40 area schools (CPS, Posen, Robbins, Harvery, and Nathan Hale) I'm ready to keep you up-to-date on all the good being done by our charity.
Besides delivering to the above mentioned schools, last Sunday, we delivered many supplies to Greater Rock Missionary Baptist Church in the North Lawndale neighborhood. On behalf of our Board of Directors, donors and volunteers, I had the opportunity to attend the festive 'Unity in the Community' gathering.
What a great event!!! Haircuts were provided, school supplies given out, clothes of all sizes were available and a wonderful meal was provided to the throng. Of course a church service highlighted the event. Lots of games were played by the children and the kids had a chance to have their faces painted!! This went on throughout the afternoon.
I was pleased to be acknowledged by the Pastor James and others for providing supplies to the children. To say the least, I was awestruck by the hospitality and warm welcome. Just one more reason why this is an honor to keep Schools Count Corp. moving forward!!
