Like it or not – some dread it while some are excited about it – we are not far from the start of our school year again!
That’s why the volunteers in the annual Nehemiah Project are working, coordinating and seeking contributions to supply about 3,500 backpacks with school supplies for children in need in our Hamilton County schools.
How wonderful it is to get children off to a good educational start by sending them to school with the things they need in addition to buildings, good teachers and books.
Volunteers are accepting contributions (The Nehemiah Project, P.O. Box 25351, Chattanooga TN 37422, or by calling 355-4093, or at nehemiahpro@aol.com) and are working to get needy youngsters off to a good school start.
It’s one of many fine philanthropic efforts in our generous community.
