Manos de Cristo!

Hey everyone!

It's time for Manos de Cristos annual Back-to-School Program and there are a few events coming up that you can get involved with.

On June 13th from 11am-5pm at the Mexican American Culture Center (600 River St, Austin, TX 78701) there will be a block party to raise money for the Back-to-School Program. Admission is free and there will be games, food, and crafts for sale. All of the proceeds will go to the BTS drive.

Then on July 27-31 and August 3-7 & 10-14 there will be a large need for volunteers to help out with the actual BTS program. They will need volunteers to help put together the school supplies, to hand them out to the kids, and for many other tasks.

If you don't have time to give you can also help out in the form of donations. Monetary donations are always welcome, but you can also donate school supplies. UPC has the task of collecting pencil boxes (plastic boxes that you put your school supplies in). You can bring your donations to UPC or you can get them to me and I will make sure they get where they need to go.

If you are interested in helping out you can contact me, Renee, or Kate Norman, our UPC-Manos de Cristo representative and the chair of the mission and service committee. Contact information and links for further information are below.

I hope that you can find a way to help out. Any help, no matter how small, is appreciated.

Peace,
Kathleen
