School Supplies Needed
DC Action for Children is collecting school supplies for kids in need. The group particularly needs backpacks – at least 150 – which they will fill with school supplies, like paper, pens, pencils, markers, rulers, crayons, etc. If you prefer, you can make a monetary donation, and DC Action for Children will purchase the supplies needed.
Please make checks out to "DC Action for Children/School Supplies Drive." Please deliver donations to DC Action for Children (1616 P St. NW, Suite 420), by Thursday, Aug. 25. Let's make sure that DC students have everything they need to be successful this school year! Call Kim Bell at 202/234-9404 for more information.
