While the disastrous tornadoes in Western Kentucky have overshadowed our flooding last spring, our own troubles have resulted in help for school children in Russell County. Each year, St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Glenwood, Maryland provides around sixty school backpacks for St. Timothy’s Outreach Center to distribute to students on Barnes Mt. and Estill County. Due to donations, Estill County schools were able to provide supplies and backpacks to their students this year. As a result, St. Timothy’s had many left over. Last week, St. Timothy’s, after hearing of a specific request for school supplies, delivered what remained along with other school supplies and around fifty dental packs of brushes, toothpaste, floss and mouthwash to Mother Chris Brannock and some members of St. Patrick’s in Somerset, relayed them to Russell Springs later in the week. It was a small donation, but over thirty students started receiving the supplies a week after the departure from Estill County.
