Now the NFL training camp is in full swing, and we are starting to see preseason game ads, fall and school are not far behind. Some charities and churches around the country are working to see that low-income children have supplies to start off the year.
Nationwide, the Salvation Army has teamed up with Target to provide $80 gift certificates to about 12,000 kids around the country to get school supplies at their stores. To find out about this program, see the Salvation Army location near you between now and September 15th. To find out if this program is in your community, contact your local Salvation Army office.
