CHILD TAGS are available for you to help our Kids get a good start for going back to school. Run by the Nehalem Bay United Methodist Church (NBUMC) at this time the CHILD program will be providing children, preschool-12th grade, with clothing and school supplies. Making a positive impression on that first day of school is important to our kids-I think we can all remember this, for some of us it’s a bit foggy.
You can pick up a CHILD TAG at several places locally, the two banks in Manzanita, Manzanita Grocery & Deli, Nehalem Lumber, North County Recreation District and at the Methodist Church in Nehalem. The TAG will tell you the age of a child, sizes, and favorite colors. The TAG will also tell you what the child needs such as pants, tops, shoes, jackets, underwear, and so on.
You can return the gifts to where you picked up your TAG or to the Methodist Church in Nehalem. Be sure you call the church before you go to make sure there is someone there. The NBUMC is located on 10th Street in Nehalem, just one block off Highway 101. The phone number is 503-368-5612.
I think we all understand if you are not into shopping-getting on Highway 101 and all that. If you prefer to just write a check, please send it to NBUMC/Child Program, PO Box 156, Nehalem, Oregon 97131. Please be sure to write CHILD in the memo line. There are also jars for contributions at the registers at Manzanita Grocery & Deli.
If you have questions, I’ll try to answer them. Just leave a message on my phone, Patty, 503-368-6081. Thank you all for your help. This has been a very successful program for our youth.
