Join Us in Helping Local Schoolchildren
The Cleary Company again will be hosting a collection for Volunteers of America’s Operation Backpack and in 2020 we’re partnering with our friends at Frog Hauling. We want to fill a dumpster FULL with backpacks and school supplies! Since 2015 our Team has been committed to giving kids in our community much needed school supplies. Let’s join together to help every child start their school year ready to chase their dreams and take on the world!
Why should you support Operation Backpack?
Did you know there are many families in our local communities who struggle meeting basic needs and can’t afford a backpack and/or school supplies for their children? It’s last on the list when they don’t have resources to meet expenses like food, utilities, mortgages or rent and so on. On average, school fees and supplies costs from $696 to $1,300 per child. When you can give a backpack and school supplies, you are helping children AND their parents who are working hard to make ends meet. You’re giving hope to the entire family!
Our Team had so much fun last year stuffing 25 backpacks so in 2020 our goal is to double that! We’re not competitive though, right? We welcome all our clients, friends, vendors, suppliers and trade partners to join us in helping to meet our ambitious goal. If you have supplies ready, you can drop them off at our office located at 989A Old Henderson Rd, 43220. To make sure we can get all of the backpacks and supplies to Volunteers of America office in time for distribution to the children, please drop off by August 12th!
