Released 12 August 2011
The Salvation Army Women's Auxiliary in Fort Worth
donated 100 backpacks of
school supplies for children served by The Salvation Army. Part of the
backpacks were distributed today by Majors John and Linda Queener at our
Northside Community Center after a prayer asking God's blessing on the
backpacks and supplies.
Women's Auxiliary president, Gloria Walker,
was on hand for the backpack distribution.
"I wanted to cry when
the children came into the chapel because I just know how special it is for
children to have something new, something of their own," Walker said. "It's
just really rewarding for the Women's Auxiliary to be a part of that."
The backpacks and school supplies were purchased through funds raised at the
Women's Auxiliary annual garage sale in March.
