FJM SENDS IMPOVERISHED KIDS BACK TO SCHOOL

It’s that time of year—school bells ring across this nation, and kids of all ages are ready to return to school. They wear brand-new clothes, tennis shoes, backpacks, and sport fresh haircuts with smiles from ear to ear. 

However, consider the contrast between them and kids in those communities, even in your community, who are affected by poverty.

These children have no option but to wear hand-me-down, tattered, torn clothes, shoes that are too small or too big with holes in the soles, or carry a paper bag to hold their school supplies.

My mother, Willie, would say, “No child living in America should have to go to school with holes in their shoes or dirty hand-me-down clothes.”

I’m asking you to please step up and help change that. I’m asking you now to please consider what you can give.

Fred Jordan Missions will host hundreds of kids returning to school again for our annual FJM Back to School Giveaway. It’s truly a party on Skid Row, and we need your help to make it happen.

Did you know that FJM will gift hundreds of brand-new shoes in partnership with Foot Locker? We will provide kids living on Skid Row and its surrounding communities with fresh, clean new clothes, backpacks, school supplies, haircuts by Paul Mitchell Schools, and, most importantly, the message of the hope found in Jesus.

We invite you to be part of this celebration and support this event with a financial gift—big or small. Your generous contribution will make a difference in a child’s life as they return to school.

There are several ways to give. You can donate securely online at FJM.org, use the return envelope provided to send a check to FJM, or call us at 626-915-1981 to donate by phone.

 Give now while it’s on your heart. No matter the size of your gift, large or small, it’s needed and greatly appreciated.

May God bless you, 
JOE JORDAN 
President/Senior Pastor

P.S. We treasure the big smiles, warm hugs, and tears of joy when kids pick out their new shiny shoes, gather essential school supplies, and choose brand-new backpacks. I can’t wait to share these heartwarming stories with you, all made possible by your generous donations. Fred Jordan Missions does not take or receive local, state, or federal funding from the government but is supported 100% by loving partners and friends like you.
