We have met our goals again for this year's Pack to School program!
Our goal was 100 backpacks by July 31st, we were able to raise enough money to purchase 101! There were also a few backpacks donated.
We collected almost $900 which will be used for school supplies and more packs. $103 was also used to purchase miscellaneous supplies.
Thank you to everyone that helped with this project and a BIG thanks to Marla Johnson, Dee Trembath, and Dick Bump for organizing this years drive. We would also like to thank McGukins Hardware and Source Office Products for their generous contributions to the program.
Source Office Products contributed the following supplies: 105 spiral bound notebook paper, 105 boxes colored pencils, 105 boxes pencils, 105 rulers, and 105 glue sticks.

Summer is a busy time for all, so we wanted to put the word out early that we are collecting cash donations, backpacks, and school supplies now.
Last year the firm contributed 90 backpacks and numerous school supplies to Pack to School. Through this program, Social Services helped 450 high-needs, challenged kids in Boulder County start school with all the required supplies.
Our goal this year is to collect 100 backpacks by July 31st. With your participation and support, we know we can do it!
If you have any suggestions for fund-raising activities, please let us know. Thank you so much for your continued support!
