Back to School
August 4, 2010 By Leave a Comment
BRE Properties employees dropped off some backpacks at our offices yesterday
It’s back to school time, which can be fun for kids who as much they may not want to admit it, look forward to going to shopping for clothes and school supplies. Unfortunately, some kids don’t have this opportunity and aren’t able to get the basic supplies they need, things like pencils, notebooks and binders. But with your help we can change that for many local children during our second annual backpack drive.
There are three ways you can help:
- Donate backpacks filled with supplies from the list below and deliver to United Way’s San Francisco office.
- Donate $35 gift cards from retailers who sell school supplies and send to United Way.
- Make a donation, which United Way will use to purchase supplies.
Already backpacks have begun streaming in, and we’ll be collecting supplies and backpacks through August 21st!
