Yellow School Bus
fill a backpack campaign
June 21- July 30, 2021
The Yellow School Bus is back again!
As part of A Precious Child’s Community Challenge to provide over 10,000 school backpacks to children in need, LCHope has accepted a challenge to donate through the month of July, 100 backpacks filled with school supplies for four different school grade types from elementary through high school. This is a real opportunity to help school children in need throughout counties on the Front Range.
how to give
There are multiple ways to support the Fill-A-Backpack Challenge:
The Yellow School Bus will be parked on the circle drive sidewalk each Sunday from June 20 through to July 26. You can bring individual school supplies or backpacks (full or empty). There will be flyers available near the Yellow School Bus on Sunday with the full list of school supplies needed. You can also check out the SCHOOL SUPPLIES LIST BELOW for the full list.
In addition, backpacks and school items can be purchased through an LCHope Amazon Wish List and the donations will be shipped directly to A Precious Child. You can visit the Amazon school supplies list BY CLICKING HERE.
Finally, monetary donations can be made through LCHope. Write a check with “backpacks” in the memo; or text “backpack” to 1-877-285-2863. Online donations can be made by clicking here or using the LCHope donation app. There is a Fill-A-Backpack category under Special Donations.
Thank you for helping with this worthwhile effort, moving to continue reaching out to help children in need as we recover from these challenging times. Last year during the pandemic, LCHope donated 65 backpacks for the 2020 Fill-A-Backpack drive. Let's see if we can reach the 2021 goal of 100 backpacks!
