Volunteers sought for River Road Elementary backpack distribution on March 19
Summary
Organizers announced a volunteer meeting and confirmed that the first backpacks for El Camino River Road Elementary will be distributed on March 19; volunteers are asked to attend a Friday morning planning session or contact organizers by chat.
Organizers described a neighborhood-led 'backpack project' to provide food and supplies to students at El Camino River Road Elementary. Jolene said the first backpacks will go home on March 19 and asked residents to attend a volunteer organizing meeting Friday at 09:30 or to contact Claire, Terry or her in the chat for more information.
"The 1st backpacks are going home for kids at El Camino River Road Elementary on March 19," Jolene said, and explained the volunteer roles — shopping, pack assembly and delivery — could require as little as two hours of commitment. She said the project builds on past food-basket drives and that organizers hope the effort becomes monthly if enough volunteers participate.
