Back to School 2007!
Every year Manos de Cristos sponsors a Back To School event to provide needy children with the basic clothes and supplies they need to start school. This year, items will be distributed July 23-August 03. We are in great need of volunteers during the two week program to do various duties. This includes participating in arts and crafts, puppet show programs, helping children receive clothing and supplies,and much more. This is a great opportunity for volunteers to practice their spanish skills! We are also in need of donations that may be brought to our offices at 4911 Harmon Avenue by July10. We need school supplies, new underwear, and children’s clothes, especially socks and T-shirts. Please donate clothes without holes orstains. Monetary donations are always accepted,with checks made payable to Manos de Cristo. They may be mailed to 4911 Harmon Ave., Austin, Tx 78751.For more information feel free to contact Victoria or Renee at 477-7454 or mdc@manosdecristo.org.

How was Back to School 2007?

After a very busy Back-to-School, hundreds of volunteers, thousands of school supplies, and millions of raindrops, we were able to serve 1,584 children who might otherwise have returned to school unequipped. The overwhelming support we had from our churches, corporations and private donors both monetary and in-kind contributed to the success of the program. For the first time ever, the Back-to-School Program and all expenses related were almost completely covered. Thank you, thank you, thank you!.
