SUMMARY:2024 Back2School Douglas County School Supply Drive Event
DESCRIPTION:The Lawrence Schools Foundation\, in partnership with the United Way of Kaw Valley\, Salvation Army\, ECKAN\, Eudora Public Schools & Foundation\, Baldwin City Public Schools & Education Foundation and Lawrence Schools & Foundation\, invites your participation in the 2024 Douglas County Back2School supply drive.  \n\n\n\nThis collaboration gathers and organizes resources to help low-income students obtain required supplies for the 2024-25 school year.  With your help\, we aim to provide Douglas County children with the necessary tools so that they may succeed on the first day of school and beyond.\n\n \n\nIn previous years\, our annual effort has produced backpacks filled with school supplies for approximately 1\,800 students.  This year's goal is to provide a complete supply kit for every Douglas County youth in need\, as well as excess to teachers for their classroom closets to replace and refresh throughout the year.\n\n \n\nBelow are a few ways you can support our efforts.\n\n1. Donation bin: We can place a Douglas County Back2School donation bin at your business/office from July 1-31.  The location of the donation area could be determined by you. Challenge your staff or clients to participate! We can provide our own signage and transportation of the donated items. \n\n \n\n2. Tabling: We would like to schedule a time for volunteers to table outside your businesses entrance during the month of July.  Our volunteers would be stationed outside the business during agreed upon times\, asking customers to consider purchasing extra school supplies and donating them to Douglas County Back2School for distribution to students in need.  We can provide our own signage\, means of collection and transportation of the donated items.  Our request for assistance is simply to allow our volunteers to be outside your store.\n\n \n\nNote: If you or your employees would like to volunteer to help with the Back2School drive there are many ways we can get them engaged!\n\n \n\nAny support you can provide is appreciated\; we will recognize all supporters publicly for their contributions.\n\n \n\nTo confirm participation details\, please contact\n\nJessica Barraclough\, United Way team\, at (785)843-6626 or email:  jbarraclough@uwkawvalley.org or\n\nJamie Sinclair\, Lawrence Schools Foundation team at 785-330-1854 or email: jsinclai@usd497.org.\n\n\n\nWe welcome your engagement on behalf of Douglas County students and educators.
