With education’s importance, school supplies are a must. Unfortunately, students living in poverty lack supplies, causing them to face challenges with participation and completing homework. To help them, the Back to School Drive has been collecting backpacks full of supplies for many years. Supplies included notebooks, folders, pencils, erasers, headphones, and more.
Volunteers like Shin Shin Youth Group members check the backpacks, making sure the right supplies are being put while separating the backpacks based upon age groups. Quantity per supply varies as well so it's important to double check that everything matches up. There were very few backpacks that satisfied all the requirements, so volunteers had to do a lot of reorganizing. Whether it was extra, missing, or the wrong supply, a lot of effort was put in to ensure the supplies were correct.
