Back 2 School event - backpack & school supply distribution

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: The Salvation Army - San Francisco, CA

Back to School Carnival
Bring smiles to some faces as kids in need head back to school this summer.

Each year students head back to school, but many families can't afford to buy their children even the basic supplies.

At our annual San Francisco Salvation Army Back 2 School Carnival we provide free, quality school supplies to the more than 300 children we serve year-round in our after school and summer day camp programs.

The Salvation Army Back 2 School event is a fun day for the whole family with interactive filling stations, games and prizes for everyone.

We need volunteers to help with:
- Distribution (backpacks, school supplies, snacks, etc);
- Supervising games and activities;
- Snack station;
- Translating (especially Cantonese or Spanish); and
- Greeting guests and crowd control.

Refreshments will be provided.

Please visit https://volunteer.usawest.org/OpportunityDetail.aspx?ID=4232 for more details and to register for this event through The Salvation Army volunteer website. Please note: all volunteers must register through this link.

Thanks for helping us send kids back to school with essential supplies and a smile on their face.

We can't do this event without you!!

Description

The Salvation Army was established in London in 1865, and since 1883 has been serving the San Francisco Bay Area, offering practical support, spiritual comfort and a critical safety net to people in need. The safety net is funded in part by donations from the Red Kettle Campaign which started in San Francisco in 1891. Nearly 600,000 San Franciscans receive assistance from the Army annually through a range of social services; clothing and shelter for the homeless, food for the hungry, opportunities for underprivileged children, alcohol rehabilitation, transitional housing, nutritional and housing support for seniors and relief for disaster survivors. For every dollar donated to The Salvation Army, 82 cents is used to support those services in the 16 facilities throughout San Francisco and South San Francisco communities.
