The organizers of the Back to School Health Fair are hoping to give out 2000 backpacks on Saturday, Aug. 15. This event is being held for the 7th year and grows by leaps and bounds each year, providing health screening and school supplies to thousands of children in the Fresno area.
They need our help to make this event another big success. Please consider donating a backpack and/or some supplies.
Backpacks should be age and size appropriate. Also, backpacks for 7th – 12th graders cannot be red or blue because of potential issues with gang colors.
Supplies needed according to grade level:
K - 3rd Pencil boxes, crayons, pencils, folders, erasers
4th – 6th Pencil pouches, pens, pencils, folders, binders, note books, paper, rulers
7th – 8th Binders, paper, note books, pens, pencils
9th – 12th Binders, paper, pencils, pens
Many stores are now advertising big sales and bargains on back to school supplies, so check your local papers for good deals and make your dollars go further.
For more information, or to arrange your donation drop-off, please contact Wendy Negri at (559) 299-5052 or via e-mail at wnegri@att.net.
The deadline for donations is Friday, July 31.
