The Annual Completely KIDS Back to School Drive has officially begun. They ‘re on a mission to ensure all of their KIDS have a backpack and school supplies to get them prepared for the upcoming school year. To participate in the Back to School Drive, simply purchase a new backpack and fill it with the school supplies on the following list: one box of colored pencils, one box of #2 pencils, one box of crayons, two erasers, two glue sticks, two folders and two notebooks.
The donation that you provide will make a significant difference in a KID’s life, helping them start off the school year with the tools they need to thrive in the classroom.
Last year, they gave out more than 850 backpacks and they’re aiming to do it again this year. The Back to School Drive runs from June 3 to August 1. All the backpacks donated must be dropped off to Completely KIDS, on 2566 St. Mary’s Ave, no later than August 1. The backpacks will be distributed at their Back to School Bash in early August.
