About the Event
There is something special about starting the school year with a backpack full of brand new supplies. It says someone was thinking of you. Someone wanted you to succeed.
This summer, Amarillo Angels is teaming up with our friends at Life.Church Amarillo to make sure children and youth in our community, ages 4-18, who are experiencing foster care start the school year with everything they need. From crayons and glue sticks for our littlest learners to binders and USB drives for our high schoolers, every single item donated goes directly to a local child.
Simply grab a few items from the list below on your next shopping trip and drop them off at Life.Church Amarillo during the drive. It really is that easy, and it really does make that big of a difference.
