In 2010, the Louis T. Shelton Love Outreach Ministry started an annual distribution of bookbags and school supplies which includes all materials needed to ensure a good start for the school year. This is a community event open to all children in the St. Louis area. Our only criteria is that children must be present to receive a book-bags. To ensure that all children receive the appropriate book-bags for their grade level a parent must register their child’s name and grade with the LTS organization.
The date of distribution is normally the last Sunday in July.
