Rose Buscaglia and Barbara LaDuca
Members of the St. Stephen's Advent/Lent Small Faith Group have been supporting the Diocese of Buffalo Ladies of Charity Book Bag program since 2003. Every year the program distributes school supplies to children, ages 5-17, by referral from Catholic Charities case workers in several WNY counties. Recently, there has been a large increase of requests due to many family members having lost jobs due to businesses closings, merging or downsizing. Last year over 700 children were equipped for the new school year and as needed during the year. High school students can earn community service hours towards graduation by sorting and counting the donated supplies. In July and August, book bags are packed and ready for distribution. The collection will end on May 20th so hurry to St. Stephen Narthex and make your donation. New School Supplies Needed: Book bags, erasers, ballpoint pens, highlighters, primary & regular crayons, magic markers, loose leaf paper, comp. & spiral notebooks, folders, glue sticks, scissors, rulers, #2 pencils, colored pencils, 3 ring binders and small tissue packages. For more information contact Angelo & Barbara LaDuca at 773-2888. Supplies may also be dropped off at 139 Parkview Dr., Grand Island until June 2nd.Catholic Charities Fund Drive - March 2014
