Back at it in the Bronx

Students shopping for school supplies at our annual school supply sale

On Sept. 8 NYC students went back to school, and Graffiti 2 held our annual School Supply Sale. Eighty-five families purchased supplies for over 200 children and teens. Although the cost of these materials for the families is negligible, the funds generated are used to support our school-year program for children and teens.

We are grateful for the many individuals and churches that sent gift cards and school supplies. So many blessings that Graffiti 2 is able to share in the Bronx are directly connected to the family of God across the country who generously support and pray for us.

Here are three ways you can help out:
1. Pray: Pray for our kids, teens, and college students (see below!).
2. Give: The cost per student to run our after school program is $275. Sponsor one of our 50 students (GIVE NOW).
3. Tell others: Share this newsletter with your family, friends, coworkers and church.
