Back to School Plans

School just got out in Burgos and surrounding communities. That means we are preparing for the second of our 3 annual outreaches. The Back to School outreach will be August 16th and we are expecting 200+ kids. We are so thankful for the past help of churches and individuals in sending school supplies. We are again asking for help. Photos from last year's event can be seen at the following link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10022403@N08/sets/72157601944290484/show/

Below is a list of supplies which can be purchased and sent to First Assembly of God Lockart on or before July 20. Another way to help is to send Wal-mart gift cards and we can purchase the items. The cards would need to be received by that same date in order to purchase and transport supplies. Addresses for drop off or mail are as follows:

mail to
Burgos Missions
PO Box 537
Lockhart, TX 78644

drop off
Lockhart First Assembly of God
2715 U.S. Hwy 183 North
Lockhart, TX 78644

Each year this outreach has grown and increased our ablility to minister to the families of the region. Your help is making a difference in Burgos. We are also able to use "lightly" used supplies that are sometimes left over at the end of the school year. If your child, school or church has older supplies that could be useful, please don't hesitate to send these also. Besides the Back to School Outreach, we also supply area Sunday School classes and the Children's Programs of Burgos Missions with various items for lessons and crafts.

School supplies are as follows:
regular paper
spiral notebooks
folders
pencils
pens
construction paper
crayons
glue
pencil sharpeners
graphing paper
map pencils
markers
