School supplies for homeless children
The Massachusetts Coalition for the Homeless is already thinking about the upcoming school year and collecting school supplies for homeless children (K-12) in Massachusetts. Being homeless has a tremendous (negative) impact on educational outcomes but you can help a homeless child have a better start to the school year. PACC has generously supported this effort the last few years. If you would like to participate again this year, there will be a box in the narthex to drop off donated supplies on August 3, August 10, and August 17 between the hours of 9:30 and 11:30am. Contact the church office for more information at 781-643-8680.
