One of
our big statewide projects each year is Back To School Backpacks for
our kids. Social Workers need the backpacks between August 11- 22
(the second and third week of August) in order to deliver them to
the children before school begins in September.
Your club,
faith-based community, or other outreach volunteer group can take this on as a fun
project.
Here is how to get
your backpacks to us!
1.
Call
the CCC office nearest you and let them know you would like to
deliver some prepared Back-To-School Backpacks. Please don’t just
drop-in as our branch offices are not always staffed during the day.
2.
Call
the CCC office nearest you and let them know you would like them to
pickup some prepared Back-To-School Backpacks, (minimum 20
backpacks)
If
your faith-based volunteering group wishes to participate in this project it is a big help to
our CCC Coordinators to know the projected number of backpacks that
you will donate. Then they can let the Social Workers in that
region know what they can expect, and we can look at the
distribution needs vs. the production.
Please also
consider helping by adding the following donations for children. Fill the
backpacks with these items and anything else you feel
will help neglected or abused children feel like they're ready for school.
Often
these children have been moved to a new
school due to intervention by a social worker and
have an increased need to feel like they belong; so please no used items.
