Summary: Places to donate school supplies for low-income kids: South Kitsap Helpline, Starbuck’s on Lund Avenue South Kitsap School District main office or any SK School.
I received this item from Sally Santana, Kitsap Sun religion columnist, who is an advocate for the homeless.
Sally writes:
Friends, SK Helpline needs school supplies & backpacks for our
low-income and homeless kids. They are distributing them out August
25 to 29. If you can help, drop off items at the food bank or
Vintage to Vogue Store, or mail in a check with “School Supplies”
in the memo line, to:
South Kitsap Helpline
1351 Bay St.
Port Orchard, WA 998366
Me again:
And according to South Kitsap School District, the Starbuck’s on Lund Avenue is also collecting for supplies to be distributed through Helpline. The district is also collecting supplies and donations.
Callie Travis of the District writes:
Last year over 26% of SKSD kids qualified for government lunch
programs.
Schools provided lunch when their parents could not afford to.
Help us collect enough school supplies to help each of these
families.
YOU CAN HELP:
Purchase any amount of basic school supplies and donate here
for a local boy or girl in need.
Make a monetary donation for the purchase of supplies at any
South Kitsap school.
Contact Callie Travis, Community Relations assistant, for more
information and other ways you can support our schoolchildren.
