In honor of Reverend and Julia Adams, Global Hope donated $4,000 to Schools Count, a Hinsdale-based charity organization whose sole purpose is to provide supplies to schools in need throughout the country. Dick Flesher and his amazing volunteers purchased and delivered uniforms and beginning of the year school supplies for over 500 children at Drew Elementary School in New Orleans during August 2009 in time for the start of the school year.
The principal of Drew, one of many schools ravaged by Katrina, tells us that the parents are both grateful and thrilled to have their children’s uniforms and supplies paid for this year. We thank Schools Count and its volunteers for the passion, dedication and hard work it takes to bring these projects to fruition.
Schools Count is a Hinsdale-based charity organization whose sole purpose is to provide supplies to schools in need throughout the country.
