Pathways of Hope Backpack: In-Kind Donation

IMPORTANT: Only register for this event if you are purchasing items to donate for the Pathways of Hope Backpack: Volunteer Hours. We envision parents registering for the in-kind donation [spending the money!] and sons registering for volunteer hours [shopping & assembling] but parents are also welcome to also sign up to volunteer and assemble backpacks as well.

Description:
Provide school backpacks and school supplies for the children and teens of local families in need.

Steps to participate:
1. Sign up for this event if you will be the person donating the funds to purchase the backpacks and supplies. When you sign up, please use the “send a message to the organizer” function to write your name and the number of assembled backpacks you and/or your son intend to contribute, i.e., Roen Forbes (6)
2. You or your son must also sign up for Pathways of Hope Backpack: Volunteer Hours (whoever intends to do the shopping and assembly work)

Tip: We recommend shopping at Five Below. Backpacks are only $5 and many of the supplies will be available there and affordably priced! We estimate a total of $10 - $12 per backpack including the supplies. Walmart has great options as well: both character-themes that kids love & options for teens. Details of what must be purchased are included in the Pathways of Hope Backpack: Volunteer Hours event.

Can a parent purchase all the supplies AND participate in the Volunteer hours along with their son? YES! The more backpacks the better!
When you sign up here, be sure to use the “message the organizer” function to note both your name and your son’s name and how many each of you are assembling, i.e., Annik R (6) and Roen F (6). Be sure to also sign yourself up for Pathways of Hope Backpack: Volunteer Hours

Hours Logged: 0.5 hours max for the in-kind donation (for any amount spent)

As a reminder, per the SLOBs bylaws, only 2 hours max for donations are allowed per member per year and the max hour allowed per member per donation event is 0.5 hour.
