Dear Community Member,
Each year Mountain View Community Center hosts a Back-to-School event to provide students in the Edgewood, Milton, Fife, and Puyallup communities with backpacks and supplies for the coming school year. We would like to invite you to help us reach our goal of collecting 1,000 backpacks so that we may serve all students in grades K-12 who have a need.
This year, as we are all unsure of what school attendance is going to look like in the fall, it is so important to give these children something that will be theirs, that represents education, and allows them to feel a sense of comfort, in an uncertain time. In order to adapt to the current crisis, we are filling the backpacks with fewer school supplies and providing comfort items and necessities as well. Some of the items include:
- New socks.
- Toiletries (travel size toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.).
- Activity item (deck of cards, coloring books w/ crayons, puzzles, etc.).
- School supplies (notebooks, pencil packs, crayons ONLY).
The event will be on Saturday, August 22, 2020 from 10:00 a.m. to 12 noon, and families will be able to go to their area community location to pick up their backpacks.
We welcome the chance to promote your company as part of our mission and celebration. All sponsorships will include company name on all promotional materials including our website and day of event signage. Please kindly send your donation by August 15, 2020.
