YPN School Supply & Shoe Drive – Deadline: Fri., 2pm

by

As a part of C.A.R.’s Month-of-Giving, CCAR YPN is hosting a school supply and shoe drive in partnership with Moving Forward, a non-profit whose mission is to make a positive impact on the Richmond community through health, academics, and community service.

In the last 2 years, CCAR YPN has collected more than 125 backpacks filled with over 1,000 pencils, 100 notebooks, markers, and additional school necessities which have been given to students to help set them up with the tools to succeed as they begin a new school year. Donate today and help us reach our goal of giving resources and supplies to enable young students to get what they need and not fall behind. 

The deadline is Friday, August 18th at 2pm! Please include your name on the gift tag for a written acknowledgement from CCAR, or give towards a scholarship on behalf of YPN (specified beneath the donation amount) for tracking purposes. All contributions will serve to empower young people in the Richmond community!

Click here to access the Moving Forward Wish List where you can shop for the most requested supplies on Amazon. 
Click here to donate directly to their scholarship program. Your tax-deductible donations will automatically ship to CCAR for sorting and delivery to Moving Forward, and will be distributed to students in late August.
