The St. John's church community is invited to donate school kit supplies and materials that will be used by the Service and Outreach Ministry to assemble school kits that will be donated to the Lutheran World Relief distribution facility in New Windsor, MD. From that point, the kits will be grouped with kits donated by other church congregations for distribution to the needy around the world. In 2009, LWR distributed a total of 231,360 school kits to people in 21 different countries.
