The 16th annual Backpacks for Kids school supply donation campaign will run July 9-30. Northshore School District and the Northshore Schools Foundation are coordinating a community-wide drive to benefit Northshore students whose families are unable to send their children to school with necessary school supplies.
Backpacks for Kids is seeking the community’s assistance in securing the necessary school supply donations needed to fill over 1,200 backpacks, ensuring Northshore students will have the opportunity to begin their school year ready to learn. Local businesses and churches have volunteered to be collection sites during the donation drive. Go to www.nsd.org for a complete list of requested school supplies and donation collection sites.
Online credit card donations can be made through the Northshore Schools Foundation at http://www.northshoreschoolsfoundation.org/backpack/. Contact Carmin Dalziel at 425-408-7680 or SchoolsFoundation@nsd.org for information about online donations. Check donations, payable to Backpacks for Kids, can be sent to the Northshore School District, 3330 Monte Villa Parkway, Bothell, WA 98021.
Northshore School District is looking for community volunteers to help assemble backpacks on Aug. 6. Student community service hours are available. Contact Cecilia Shumate at 425-408-7670 or cshumate@nsd.org if you would like to help assemble backpacks on Aug. 6 or for program information.
