This is a Really Cool Idea that Beth came up with! Take Backpacks and fill them will School Supplies. Then pass them out at a local school, local park, area, etc. to kids whose parents might be having a little bit of a hard time affording things for the new school year.
We are going to meet August 8th @ 2pm and bring the supplies that we can find to make this happen.
Please join us at the meet up to put the backpacks together. Also, if you do have anything laying around your house, please bring them with you.
Supplies needed:
Backpacks
Pencils
Pens
Notepads
Erasers
Glue
Crayons
and People willing to help us put them together.
Panera is giving us the back room so we have some space. Skip lunch and eat there if you like. I think their average meal is around $7.00
Feel free to bring a friend as well! :)
Bag it forward and pay it forward bracelets will be passed out.
Hey if you can't make it but want to donate please email Bryan, Beth or myself. I live in the Moon Twp area if you are looking to donate items.
Log in to Meetup with your Facebook account.
I cannot wait, thank you everyone for your support.
Also, this Panera Bread is the one in the Miracle Mile shopping center.
Backpacks will be distributed 3 local housing projects around Pittsburgh, in McKeesport, and in Monroeville.
