Pathways of Hope Backpack Project
Friday, August 04 2023
Volunteers are needed to create and provide school backpacks. The school backpacks you make will be distributed to the families living in Pathways of Hope’s shelters and families picking up food at our food distribution center.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Meet with your SLOBs group to shop at the Five Below store in Fullerton. Address is: Five Below, 1134 S Harbor Blvd, Fullerton, CA 92832
Volunteers will be using budgeted SLOBs funds to shop for backpacks and school supplies for POH. Backpacks and supplies will be assembled and donated to teens in need. Some ideas of teen school supplies are:
• spiral notebook

• notebook
• pens
• pencils
• markers
• highlighters
• erasers
• scissors
• glue sticks

Immediately after shopping for backpacks and school supplies, volunteers will help transport them to the Pathways of Hope office: 1231 E.
