Fairlawn-West United Church of Christ will host a Garage Sale for its Kids Hope USA ministry on Saturday, May 6, 2006, 9:00 am to 3:00 pm.  Kids Hope USA is a national ministry based in local Christian congregations of providing mentors/tutors for children in elementary school that are at risk.  The garage sale will be in the Fellowship Hall of the church building.
 
Fairlawn-West started its Kids Hope USA ministry in February at Fairlawn Elementary School.  Presently there are 6 mentors each paired with a student.  There are also additional people who serve as substitutes if the regular mentor can't make their weekly meeting with the student.  Already in this short time it is clear that these children are growing from these new relationships.
 
Here is the web site for the national Kids Hope USA.  Here is the web site for the Fairlawn-West ministry.
 
The Fairlawn-West Church building is at 2095 West Market Street in west Akron, next to the park with the Chief Rotaynah carving and in front of the new Judith A. Resnick Community Learning Center, the former Fairlawn Elementary School.  For more information you can call the church office at 330-864-2179 or visit the web site at fairlawnwest.org.
