Providing the supplies that students need to succeed going back to school in 2020
Understandably 2020 has been quite the year for our students. School is challenging enough for young people experiencing homelessness and adding a pandemic to the mix… well, let’s just say it is HARD.
We knew this year would be different…what the school year might look like: an ever-changing landscape it seems. We knew now, more than ever parents would have a difficult time supplying the school supplies students need to succeed. We also knew we needed to keep our students and staff safe, and sadly we chose to cancel our annual Back to School BBQ, as well as the Customs for Kids Car Show that provides the funding for our school supplies.
While we were disappointed about the car show, and that we would miss the smiling faces at the BBQ – we knew students would still need school supplies, but how? We made a great ask, and you, the community responded!
Look what you made happen:
Our great sponsor Oregon Pacific Financial Advisors lead the charge with a generous donation followed by:
Rotary Club of Medford
Country Financial
Medford Kiwanis
Van Rowe Mechanical
Rogue Fare
Anonymous (Thanks - whoever you are!)
Honorable mentions go to our wonderful volunteers who made the stuffing of these bags far more fun: Paula Carroll and Claire Harkins.
Despite not knowing what this school year will hold, we know, at the very least ,we have the tools to provide to help these students succeed – thanks to your help.
