ms for at-risk families for seven elementary schools in Salem and western Roanoke County as well as financial support for over 180 school-age children. During the past five years, over $ 18,500 has been contributed to support the weekend “ACT Packs” program to provide breakfast and lunch items for 85 families over the weekend break. Funds are also provided to the school principals to provide discretionary money for emergency needs, such as school supplies, snacks, field trips, food, school fees and clothing. This funding will allow us to expand the program to support the increased number of families anticipated during the 2013-14 school year. In addition, we will be providing support to children during the summer months when school is not in session. The local principals indicated this is an increasing need since the at-risk children will not receive free or reduced breakfast or lunches during these months.

Salem area children need your help...Help support over 180 underprivileged elementary school children by sponsoring a child for $ 40 for the 2013/14 school year!

09/03/2013

180 underprivileged elementary school children in Salem and
west Roanoke County enjoy nutritious meals every weekday at
school. That’s good news for these children, Monday through
Friday. But what happens on Saturday and Sunday when
many may have very little to eat?

That’s where our Area Churches Together can make a difference
through the ACT PACKS program. For only $1.00 per
weekend, ACT PACKS will provide a pack of nutritional food to
each identified child to see them through their weekend at
home. $40.00 will see them through the entire school year!

Even better, during August and September, all funds received
will be matched by the Charity Cheerleader program sponsored
by Q99 Radio and the Salem VA Medical Center Credit
Union and Thrivent Financial "Care Abounds in the Communities."

Please double your impact with a gift soon!

Make your tax deductible gift of $40.00, or in any amount, through
your congregation or by sending your check to:
Salem Area Ecumenical Ministries
P.O. Box 737, Salem, VA 24153.
