URGENT: Backpacks and School Supplies needed

Low-income Children in Snohomish County in Urgent Need of Backpacks and School Supplies

This September, thousands of children throughout Snohomish County will go back to school without the necessary backpacks and school supplies. It is important for each child to start the school year off right by having the essential supplies. It is equally important that those same children have the supplies they need not just in September, but throughout the school year as well. Clothes for Kids provides school supplies to homeless and low-income children year-round. This year, the need for our support services is expected to grow, while the much-needed supplies have been harder to come by.
Please consider donating some new items or gently used that are needed for the return to a new school year. Clothes for Kids would like to provide these essential items throughout the coming school year.
Recommended items: New or gently used backpacks, Marble & 5 Subject Notebooks, Scissors, Lunch Boxes & Thermos, Crayons & Colored Pencils, Glue, Paper/Memo pads, Pens/Pencils, Rulers, Erasers, Index cards, Highlighters, Calculators, New Socks (Children Size), Underwear.
All donations will go to homeless and low-income children in Snohomish County. Please drop off your donations at Clothes for Kids, located in at 16725 52nd Avenue West Suite B – Lynnwood, WA 98037.
The mission of Clothes for Kids is to help qualified community members build confidence and self-sufficiency by providing quality wardrobes and resources.

Since 1984, Clothes for Kids has helped to enhance the learning environment for thousands of children by meeting the clothing and educational needs of low-income children in Snohomish County. Our goal is to provide these services to children in our community, so they may arrive at school, ready to learn.
