Common Cup collecting school supplies
Common Cup Ministries, along with the Salvation Army, will again be supplying school supplies to children in need for the coming year.
Last year, approximately 500 children in McLeod County applied for, and received, supplies and a backpack.
Common Cup relies on individuals to donate the needed items or money donations to make this happen. Organizations, clubs, families and individuals are encouraged to donate. All donations are appreciated. Supply lists are available online at http://common-cup.org/.
Donations of supplies can be dropped off at all area churches and McLeod County Social Services. For supply pickup and other questions, call 320-510-1593.
Donations will be accepted through Aug. 15. Distribution of supplies will be Wednesday, Aug. 17, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and Thursday, Aug. 18, 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., at Glencoe-Silver Lake Lincoln Junior High School in Glencoe.
Application forms to receive supplies are available from Common Cup Ministries. The applications need to be returned by Aug. 5.
