Investing in Washington's Future Leaders:

Volunteers for Collection
Some of our amazing volunteers getting ready for collection

On September 9th, Communities in Schools of Washington (ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ) partnered with the Washington State Fair to collect school supplies for students in the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ network. Fair participants were invited to provide a donation of new school supplies at the gold or red gate and receive free admission into the fair from 10am – 12pm.  Over 60 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ volunteers helped collect school supplies and raise awareness for Communities In Schools programs.

This year, thanks to generous donors, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ successfully collected 2.5 tons of school supplies with an estimated value of $22,000 and collected $2000 in donations.  The proceeds were divided among 9 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ affiliates in Washington State and will provide support for students in 11 different school districts.
