Good morning;  We have been contacted by the West Branch Middle School seeking assistance from area churches in providing school supplies for families in need.  Bethany has been asked to provide 4 backpacks of supplies for a girl from each grade (5-8).  They are requesting bags be turned in by August 19^th.  

Bethany has faithfully provided school supplies in the past and we thank you for your support. Due to short notice, rather than asking individuals to purchase supplies we are seeking financial contributions. Please send donations to P.O. Box 236 West Branch, IA 52358 or they may be dropped of at the church.
