Summertime and School Supplies

8.1.2025

Summertime means vacations and lazy days for some, but for others it isn't something to look forward to. For low-income familes with kids that have free or reduced lunches at school, summertime means food shortages.

For many years, our local Haltom City church has had the same mission: providing free lunches to the kids that might otherwise go without. This year, they provided lunch for approximately 50 low-income, school-aged kids, 5 days a week for the summer.

Post members and guests donated food supplies and paper products and those donations were delivered to the church as our collection table filled up. It was pretty amazing to see how great things can happen when there is a need.

Now, as the school year approaches, many of us are starting to think about back-to-school shopping. New backpacks, fresh notebooks, shiny pencils – it's all pretty exciting. But for these families, it's also a huge financial burden. Again, the church identified a need, and our generous Post family answered. We were able to supply backpacks, pencils, paper, markers, crayons, and alllll the other school supplies to help get the school year started off right for some deserving kids The school supplies have all been distributed, and we are in awe.

"Thank you" doesn't even begin to convey the gratitude we have for all the generous donations from our Post family and for the church's commitment to this cause. Just know that what you do matters.
