Donations Needed

You know the one about "give a man a fish and he eats for a day, but teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime?" Fast forward that advice: Help a child learn and, well, you can figure out the rest.

Accordingly, South Hills Interfaith Ministries needs donations for its Back-to-School Program, which benefits school-age children of suburban poor and refugee families who live in Baldwin Borough and Township, Bethel Park, Castle Shannon, Mt. Lebanon, South Park, Upper St. Clair and Whitehall.

The group is collecting supplies, such as backpacks, notebook paper, pens and pencils, which are, of course, tools to help youngsters learn. Such items should be dropped off through tomorrow [that's TODAY - Friday August 15] from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the SHIM center, 1900 Sleepy Hollow Road, South Park.

For more, call 412-854-9120, ext. 10.
