Prepping for a trip…

It’s become an annual tradition in Van Wert. Volunteers gathered at Trinity Global Church on Tuesday night to stuff backpacks full of school supplies. The volunteers formed an assembly line to fill the backpacks with essentials such as paper, notebooks, pencils and more. The backpacks and other supplies will be driven to the Navajo Nation Indian Reservation in Tuba City, Arizona, for distribution to children in need. The yearly effort, which began in 2020, is headed up by Nick and Val Steyer and their family. Photos submitted
