St Michael Lutheran Church in Wellington is proud to be a longtime participant in the Back to Basics program.
Beverly Perham, founder of the organization, recently came to speak to the congregation, explaining how and why she started this program. Many organizations assist with the collection.
At St. Michael, more than 60 members partnered to provide the basics to Palm Beach County children in need. This allows students to attend school with dignity and to help them prepare to learn.
Through this program, church members provide new sneakers, socks, underwear, a toy and a small stocking stuffer for the children. When each bag is dropped off at the church, an angel gets added to the Christmas tree at St Michael Lutheran Church.
Back to Basics has been providing hope to struggling families in Palm Beach County for 40 years with more than 10,000 children being served last year. Learn more about this local nonprofit at www.backtobasicsinc.org.
