After our “Back to School Giveaway”, we gained knowledge of other current donation needs in upper peninsula schools! Uptown will be partnering with DeepWater Church in gathering donations for PPE items, specifically- kids size (elementary age) disposable masks, hand sanitizer, sanitizing wipes and spray, paper towels and Kleenex. All donations must be new, and in their original packaging. You can drop off your physical donations in the covered bin outside of 106A Charlesfort Aly this Wednesday (August 26) through next Wednesday (September 2), or you can bring the items to church on Sunday. If you would prefer to donate financially, please click the link below. We look forward to serving our local schools together!

School Supply Giveaway

8/3/2020

The "Back to School" season looks much different this year. The legitimate concerns and uncertainties surrounding the pandemic and its potential affects on the classroom have been felt by parents, teachers and students alike. With the spike in COVID-19 cases, the prospect of a normal school year is fading fast. That's why we would like to step in and take away at least a small amount of stress from families who are struggling to buy new school supplies this year. Whether their children will be attending school virtually or in person, our hope is that these new supplies will bring some much needed excitement and joy to the students regarding the start of the new school year.

We will be collecting donations that are mostly focused on elementary/middle school students' needs over the next week and then distributing them (in accordance with social distancing protocols) in the Hampton Park Bandstand on Wednesday,  August 12th from 5-7pm. 

Donations needed:
  • Crayola crayons
  • Glue sticks
  • Pencil boxes or fabric pencil holders
  • Soft handle scissors
  • Elmers glue
  • Marble notebooks
  • Headphones or earbuds with a straight plug (iClever HS15 Kids Headphones are ideal)
  • Ticonderoga #2 pencils
  • Pink erasers
  • Paper

How to Donate:
  • Drop off the supplies at 106A Charlesfort Aly from Tuesday, August 4th - Tuesday, August 11th. There will a donation bin on the porch, which will be checked throughout the day. If you are donating electronics, please let us know the time you plan to drop off the donations so that someone will be there to receive them (you can send an email to hello@uptownchs.org). If you are a teacher who is dropping off a donation, we will also have a box next to the donation bin with an appreciation gift for you :-)
  • You can also donate by giving online. Just click the link below and choose "School Supply Donations"

​Outreach Event Details:
  • We will be setting up a table with school supply packet donations in the Hampton Park Bandstand on Wednesday, August 12th from 5-7PM. If a line forms during that time, we will be encouraging a 6 feet gap between families/individuals. Please spread the word to anyone you know who may be in need!
  • If you would like to volunteer during the event, please send an email to Pastor Chris at chris@uptownchs.org.
