What a night! About 100 people from Restore gathered at Metro North Mall and then headed out into communities across the Northland to help gather school supplies for hurting kids as part of our Replenish KC Project.
We went door to door in 14 different communities and asked people to partner with us by donating school supplies. We dropped off approximately 785 bags for people to fill with supplies and left at least 850 door hangers. Every bag drop-off was a conversation we had with someone. Every door hanger is an opportunity for someone to be generous. The vibe we picked up was that people are very willing to be part of helping kids in the community.
I've already received calls and emails from people telling us that they are going to fill their bags.
Thanks to all of the people at Restore who showed up to make it happen. I love being part of this generous community.
We're headed back to the neighborhoods on August 8th to pick-up the bags. Keep praying that people will respond to our request and donate the supplies. Keep praying that God will use this opportunity to work great things in our community.
