North Kent Connect

Twice a year our staff takes a day away from the office to share our annual plan and reconnect with each other. It's great fun and brings us closer together as a team! ❤

If you're still considering purchasing new backpacks and school supplies for local families in need, Amazon Prime Days (July 16 and 17) have some great deals! https://lnkd.in/gxmHCX5e If you prefer to purchase your own, you can drop off new backpacks and school supplies at our lobby or store donation area by July 31st. NKC clients can bring their children to choose a backpack between August 5th and August 15th. Any backpacks left over after that date will be sold in the Thrift Store so that families in the community can purchase them. If you have any questions, please contact Scott Christie at (616) 866-3478, ext. 356, or scott.christie@nkconnect.org. Thank you for helping local families in need get ready for school!

We're still a long way from getting 500 backpacks for our students in need! Can you imagine trying to make a backpack last throughout high school? Many of our families face this challenge, knowing that a sturdy backpack can cost $60 or more. If you're able to help, we're collecting new backpacks and school supplies through the end of July. Donations can be dropped off in our lobby and store donation area. If you prefer to purchase online, items will be delivered directly from Amazon to NKC at https://amzn.to/3We4ExM Thank you for your generosity and for helping us make a difference in the lives of these children!
