Northshore Schools Foundation is gearing up for our annual Backpacks for Kids School Supply Drive this August. We’ve been doing this for the past 5 years and anticipate over 800 requests. We want to be able to say yes to all of them!
You can support us by dropping school supplies at a local event we’re attending or at one of our public collection sites. Your contributions help ensure Northshore families who are experiencing financial hardship start the school year with the tools they need.
We’re proud to have 30 sites within Northshore this year! Thank you to hosts, they are a vital part of this event and making it a success.
WHERE TO DROP OFF DONATIONS
Donate new school supplies at one of these sites from July 1 – August 2 during their business hours. Look for our signature red bins!
