The community rallies behind providing support for children in need. Our Longmont staging site will be at the Main Street School, 820 Main Street. We are currently recruiting for volunteers. If you are involved in girls scouts, boy scouts, church groups, corporate groups, civic service organizations, and individuals from the community and would like to help with this worthwhile project, please contact Lora at the number below. Volunteers are needed to sort and organize supplies; to pack the backpacks according to grade level; and to load and transport the backpacks to the schools for distribution to the students. We are also organizing donation sites and corporate partners, if you can help in this way, please contact us! We couldn't do it without the widespread support of our community!
In 2008, we were able to provide 4,800 backpacks. In 2009, we were able to increase that number by 500 backpacks! Together we were able to provide over 5,900 backpacks filled with supplies to the students of the St. Vrain Valley and Boulder Valley School Districts. This year our goal is to fill over 6,000 backpacks with school supplies so that all children start the year with the supplies they need to succed! To begin the new year with the supplies they need has such an amazing impact on students. Here is what one backpack recipient shared, "Thank you a million times!!!!!!! The girls will be ecstatic...it's really beyond their best dreams to have nice supplies for school."
