In many low income districts schools are unable to provide the school supplies the teachers & students need for basic learning. There are a several programs that I know of that help with this need. I’m going to showcase the Elmer's Bag It Forward Program and in the future I will also tell you about a single Mom and her experience with the Open Door Missions Back to School Program.
What can your family do to help low-income schools in your community? Bag It Forward!
This summer, Elmer’s has teamed up with 50 bloggers to kickoff the Bag it Forward movement. These bloggers are gathering school supply bags for families or organizations of their choice, and are encouraging others to join in.
In addition we are hosting Elmer’s Virtual Bag It Forward Donation. The virtual donation will begin on July 25. By simply sharing a virtual bag with a friend via blogs, we can work together to raise money for Adopt-A-Classroom. For more information visit www.bagitforward.org
Now that you know what Bag It Forward is, do you know a school in your community, or a family that struggles in their daily life and adding the expenses of starting school would be very difficult for them?
Here's what YOUR family can do to help them:
- To give you some ideas on items to donate comment blow and I'll send it to you.
- Go to Walmart and create a bag (or several) that your family can donate to a school or family in need.
- Twitter this message: "Elmer's Bag It Forward program - http://bagitforward.org/donate-a-bag/ OR fill a bag w/ school supplies & give to a family/school in need."
- Facebook - "I'm participating in Elmer's Bag It Forward Program to help schools/families in need - YOUR family can too! http://bagitforward.org/donate-a-bag/
