Church World Service School Kits
The Outreach/Mission Committee of the United Church of Ludlow was delighted to organize the creation and filling of 52 school kit bags for the Church World Service.

The school kit bags were made by members of the church and were filled with 3 notebooks, a ruler, eraser, pencil sharpener, 6 pencils, 24 crayons and one pair of scissors. The kits will be given to children in impoverished schools, refugee camps or other difficult settings throughout the world. Funding for the project locally came from a UCC Disaster.

Ministries matching grant and mission funds from United Church. To learn more about this project, go to www.cwsglobal.org. And to learn more about the United Church of Ludlow, go to www.unitedchurch.us.
