• The Salvation Army's Back to School program is a county-wide effort, that pairs churches and non-profit organizations with area school corporations. It provides quality, new school-related items to families in need, in an effort to start the school year off right. This year, over 15 local churches are collecting backpacks and school supplies in preparation for Backpack Distribution Day on Thursday, August 4, 2011. On this day, families with Monroe County students in grades K-8, who are in need of back to school supplies, are welcome to come to Sherwood Oaks Christian Church (2700 E. Rogers Road) between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm, or until supplies last. Children must be present to receive backpacks and supplies. Volunteers are needed on August 3 & 4, to help sort, pack, and distribute the items to children. If interested, please contact Courtney Grau, Volunteer Coordinator for The Salvation Army, at 812-336-4310 ext. 12 or courtney_grau@usc.salvationarmy.org.
