St. Paul’s helping kids get back to school

Believe it or not, the start of the new school year is less than a month away.
School supply lists will soon begin to be checked off, with backpacks ready to go.
Unfortunately, for some, that process will not come easily. That is why numerous organizations and other groups rally yearly to collect school supplies for those in need.
Among those groups are St. Paul’s Episcopal Church parishioners in Abbeville.
