Gallatin FBLA and Bright Futures will partner to hold a Backpack Blessings event to assist needy students this Christmas.
This website brought to you in part by the following sponsor:
Gallatin R-5 students who are signed up as recipients for this assistance will be available for adoption during Christmas on the Square from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18, on the south side of the Daviess County Courthouse.
Those wishing to adopt will be given basic demographic information on the student, along with the student’s small wish list. A backpack will be provided to fill with various items.
Dungy’s Supermarket has also agreed to have food bundles for these students’ families based on family size. Certificates for the food bundles will be available for purchase at the event.
Bright Futures is a community-based action group which works to fill the unmet needs of children in the Gallatin School District.
Bright Futures Gallatin is on Facebook. Over 60 from the community attended the Bright Futures kick-off event in September and 45 signed commitment cards to offer time, talent, and/or treasure to Bright Futures Gallatin. The month of October sponsored “Undie Sunday” and “Socktober” in area churches. The school received an abundance of these items. November will be focused on the Christmas adoptions and other donated items (personal care items like deodorant, body wash, shampoo) for the middle school and high school. A call for hats and gloves for the elementary has already been answered by the community.
