Backpack Drive!

It’s almost time for the kids to return to school and it also means it’s time for a backpack drive!  We have 75 youth who will be entering school for the first time and we want to send them off in style.  We are looking for donations of new backpacks for kids ages 5-19 years old.  Click HERE for a list of the items needed to go into the backpacks.  In lieu of the items to go into backpacks, Bartell and Walgreen gift cards will allow families and volunteers to purchase the necessary items. 
 
The backpack drive will run until Friday, September 24th.  Backpacks may be dropped off at either of our Seattle (100 South King Street, Suite 570, Seattle, WA 98104) or SeaTac (16256 Military Rd. S. #206, SeaTac, WA 98188).  Please call Jennifer at 206-623-2105 if you need more information or would like to donate.
