YWCA School Days Backpack Packing Party!

Save to Favorites

School Days is an annual back-to-school program that equips low-income students, children of YWCA clients, with the school supplies that they need to be successful at the start of the new school year. In 2017, the YWCA expects to provide backpacks to over 3,000 low-income children and teens in grades K-12. This event will have a direct impact on youth and clients.

Volunteers will assist in assembling backpacks for K-12 students and preparing them for delivery. Possible roles include:

• Preparing, unpacking, and dividing school supplies
• Refilling supplies as needed
• Filling backpacks, assembly line style
• Creating and applying labels for backpacks
• Sorting and distributing backpacks to case managers

Minimum age for this opportunity is 16 years old.

This event is a great opportunity for large groups to volunteer together. For more information, please contact Nichelle Hilton at nhilton@ywcaworks.org.
