School Supplies Giveaway: Saturday, August 1, 2015 9:00am
LAN’s Seventh-Annual School Supplies Giveaway is Saturday, August 1, 9:00am at South Valley Community Human Services Center (DHS Office), 1658 Ashland Street, in the Ashland Shopping Center.
ARRIVE EARLY! Supplies limited to 150 students.
School starts soon, and parents are helping their children to round up required school supplies. For some families, the added expense for these items can be prohibitive or impossible. A group called Love Ashland Network (LAN) is reaching out to their neighbors again this year by offering free backpacks filled with basic school supplies to anyone who needs them.
The backpacks and supplies valued at 20 dollars contain notebooks, paper, pens, erasers, pencil pouches and other items suitable for students grades K-8. All the items are brand new. Any student may receive a backpack, there are no applications, and anyone in need is eligible. One hundred-fifty backpacks are available, so plan to arrive early.
Established in 2008, Love Ashland Network is a group of anonymous Ashlanders concerned about the wellbeing of low-income residents of the community. LAN thanks their seven-year partner South Valley Human Services for their support with this event.
