We are trying to make at least 3,000 kits. The auction already has contributed $20,000 to this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The school kits will be given to children who are going to school in difficult settings. We have asked NYC participants to commit to bringing school supplies for the kits, using an online signup sheet at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slottr.com\/sheets\/18267897\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"www.slottr.com\/sheets\/18267897\">www.slottr.com\/sheets\/18267897<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are not attending NYC but would like to support this offering, you can commit to purchasing supplies and then send them with youth from your congregation. If you are not attending NYC and there are no youth from your congregation attending, please contact me at <a href=\"mailto:eclary@brethren.org\">eclary@brethren.org<\/a> to find out how you can support this project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"278\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/pencils-collected-for-relief-kits.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4258\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/pencils-collected-for-relief-kits.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/09\/pencils-collected-for-relief-kits-300x209.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption><em>Pencils collected for School Kits.
