Local twins Will and Emily not only decided to celebrate their 12th birthday with their friends – but, volunteering and giving back at CROSS.
On a August Friday morning, the volunteer group helped sort school supplies, filled backpacks, and organized the birthday room. What a blessing! Not only did they
volunteer their time, but the group also donated household supplies for the food shelf.
Distribution of backpacks and school supplies continues through Friday, Sept. 4 at CROSS (and as needed after Sept. 4). It is estimated around 800 area children will receive new backpacks and school supplies for the start of the 2015-2016 school year.
For more information receiving assistance, volunteering, or donating, contact CROSS at info@crossservices.org or call 763-425-1050.
