Adopt a Backpack
North Platte Area Ready to Serve Program (RSVP)
The North Platte Public School District is looking for a few volunteers to pick up backpacks from the Wal-Mart DC & deliver them to a school. You will pick up the backpacks on Fridays at 1:00 p.m. at the Wal-Mart Distribution Center & deliver them to one of the seven participating schools. Looking for regular & on-call volunteers (they will call you on Wednesdays if they don’t have a regular volunteer). This generally takes between 30 minutes & 1 hour. One school does require a pickup or van as there are 100 backpacks to pick up. Call Brandee at 530-0503 for more information.
