Homeless children often struggle to be successful in school. In addition to the stress of not having a secured place to live, they often lack basic school supplies.
We partnered with The Family Shelter, an emergency housing facility for children and their families, to help them kick-off the new school year!
We were able to donate the following school supplies:
- 100 drawstring backpacks
- 20 backpacks
- 24 packs of crayons
- 24 packs of colored pencils
- 24 packs of highlighters
- 24 packs of erasers
- 24 packs of #2 pencils
- 24 packs of pens
- 24 reams of ruled paper
- 24 packs ruled index cards
- 24 packs of post-it pads
- 24 packs of glue sticks
- 24 Pencil sharpeners
- 80 snack-size bags of chips
- 80 cupcakes and/or cookies
- 160 bottles of water
- 75 gently loved books
- 20 gently loved stuffed animals
- 10 games
In addition to collecting school supplies to stock their homework station, we hosted a BACK TO SCHOOL BASH with face painting, corn hole, a ball toss and other games for all to enjoy.
