Please consider supporting Congregations for Kids through the GiveBIG campaign May 3-4.  Early scheduled donations are already underway.  To donate, go to  Congregations For Kids | Washington Gives (wagives.org) or https://www.wagives.org/organization/Congregations4kids.  Congregations for Kids’ annual Good Start Back to School project provides over 2000 students from low-income families in the Bellevue School District with backpacks and school supplies. Their backgrounds are varied:  some homeless, some from other countries, some escaping domestic violence.  All are experiencing poverty. These backpacks and school supplies give them a lifeline to normalcy.   Thank you!
