The Wesleyan Church is partnering with a local non-profit called Random Acts 20:35, to give away school supplies and clothes to any families that may need them. The event is August 1st from 10-4pm at the Mueller Center. We will also be offering free haircuts onsite from barbers/stylists in town. This event is 100% free. The only requirement for the school supplies is that kids must be present with their parents/guardians, as we will have limited supply and want to ensure they are going to the kids. The goal is to serve the community and help those in need.
