School Supplies Request
Hello Friends and Family,I am getting a very late start this year on my school supply project for the needy children of Jackson County. I realize this is a tough year for many people. I am hoping you all will be able to send me something so we can at least get some backpacks for these children and hopefully enough to fill the backpacks with some supplies. We are lucky to have a friend who is able to order backpacks at a big discount so...Please send what you can to:
Arlene Aron
1684 Humbug Creek Rd
Jacksonville Oregon 97530
Or Cindy Darnell

Central Point Or 97502
Thank you in advance for your kindness.
