TIME: 11:00am to 1:00pm – During August Power Lunch
TOPIC: Fill-A-Backpack School Supply Drive Final Collection Day
HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS: the community. Backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies are distributed to children through our Resource Center as well as our agency partners which include schools, human services organizations, at-risk youth centers, homeless shelters and foster care organizations.
We collect new backpacks, school supplies and monetary donations through drives hosted by individuals, organizations and businesses as well as through the Fill A Backpack Corporate and Community Challenges.
The Fill A Backpack program ensures underprivileged children get to start the first day of school feeling confident and prepared to succeed academically.
Did you know that more than 250,000 children live below the Colorado Self-Sufficiency Standard in A Precious Child’s eight-county service area? Children in these families often lack the necessary supplies critical for academic achievement. Ensuring that children have the tools to participate in school can reduce truancy, promote learning and build positive self-esteem.
