“We will accept donations in the form of cash, check or credit cards at the Queen Theater to assist La Grange with everything from replacing school supplies, shoes and clothing for children who have lost their homes, to downtown businesses who need assistance with cleanup.” Farris said.

Diaper Drive For Flood Victims
Want to help those who have been affected by the devastating floods from Hurricane Harvey? Many families in the Houston and surrounding area have been forced from their homes and are seeking refuge in temporary shelters. These families left most of what they own behind and are in need of basic essentials.
Kid to Kid Bryan/College Station will be accepting your donations of diapers and baby wipes now throughout the Labor Day holiday. We will either get these items down to Houston ourselves, or through another local partner who will be making deliveries to shelters in the Houston area.

We are organizing an event that the kids of our community can be involved in to help children that have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey. We are asking parents and kids to work together to make Joy Bags. A Joy Bag is a gallon-size ziplock bag that is filled with fun items/toys for kids whose families have been displaced from their homes and are currently staying in shelters. Our heart’s desire is that these bags would bring joy and comfort to these families, and that the recipients of these Joy Bags would feel known and seen by a God that loves them and is with them. Our prayer is also that this could be a way for our own children to be able to serve alongside their parents. You can help by putting together your own bags or purchasing items for bags and dropping them at the TexAgs office on George Bush Drive. TexAgs is located at 308 George Bush Drive, just down the street from Aggieland Outfitters. We will be collecting items from now until Wednesday, September 6th. No food or candy, please, and remember all items need to be able to fit into a gallon size ziplock bag. For more details and a list of suggested items please visit our Facebook page www.facebook.com/BCSJoyBags
