Thanks to YOU, our Hands4Hope community,
we surpassed our goal to provide 600 backpacks filled with school supplies
to local students in need during our 9th Annual School Supply Drive.
Twenty-nine volunteers filled 95 volunteer spots and put in
over 300 hours of community service hours for this event.
Working through our agency partners we were able to serve
640 students from Kindergarten through High School.
Thank you to all our supporters who donated backpacks, supplies,
monetary donations, as well as snacks and treats for our volunteers.
Also, a special thank you to EDCOE for letting the committee
use the school bus for the "Stuff the Bus" event.
We look forward to sharing the full wrap-up
written by youth from our School Supply Drive Committee next month!
