WHEREAS, since 1988 St. Mark Youth Enrichment has existed to work with the families of Dubuque
meet some of the unmet needs of their children; and
WHEREAS, St. Mark Youth Enrichment Staff, Committees and Board are dedicated to furthering the
total learning experience of all children they work with; and
WHEREAS, St. Mark Youth Enrichment will again be leading the APPLES FOR STUDENTS, Fill the
Bag program in the Dubuque community during the months of June & July. This program
collects money to buy basic school supplies for children of families who need help
purchasing them. To date St. Mark Youth Enrichment has given out over 38,000 bags of
school supplies; and
WHEREAS local schools and human service agencies help St. Mark Youth Enrichment identify the
3,500 children in grades K-12 who need school supplies this year; and
WHEREAS, St. Mark Youth Enrichment invites the people of Dubuque to donate money to this
program so school supplies can be purchased in bulk from local merchants and serve
more children than they usually do.
