Greetings!
School is out and summertime is well underway in the Pacific Northwest. For many kids, summer is a time to hang out with friends, explore, have adventures, be silly, and maybe try something new. The worries of school are put on hold for a little while... as kids take the time to be kids, organizations serving low-income families are working hard to provide needed services for children, youth and families during the summer months. At Global Backpack Project, we will be collecting and donating backpacks and school supplies to children. We want to ensure that as many kids as possible will start off the school year with the necessary school supplies for a successful year.
We are sorting through many donations and will be delivering backpacks and school supplies to children and youths in Portland in August. We look forward to sharing pictures of deliveries with you and thank you for your support. You are making a difference in the life of a child and it really counts.
Cheers!
The Global Backpack Project Team
