The Hands4Hope School Supply Drive & Distribution Committee works with local businesses and organizations to collect backpack and supply donations to benefit students in need.
The School Supply Drive Committee is led by and comprised of youth in grades 6-12, with the support of Adult Mentor volunteers and Hands4Hope staff. Committee participants market for and host the School Supply Drive, advertise the drive and associated events, work with media to promote the drive, organize donated items, and design and implement the School Supply Distribution event (held in Placerville).
To join the School Supply Drive Committee, youth must register with Hands4Hope and must pay the annual program fee (scholarships available.)
Once the committee is formed, there are still many volunteer opportunities available to help with the School Supply Drive and Distribution. They will be posted as Outreach Opportunities as they become available. Join our email list to make sure you are notified when volunteer sign-up opportunities arise!
