Old-school ranting for the greater good: expressing dissatisfaction in a traditional manner for a positive impact
Let's Chat About That Old School Backpack!
Summer's here and fourth-graders across the land may be pondering: what to do with the dusty, outgrown backpack? With fifth grade around the corner, a fresh, cool one's the ideal accessory. Instead of stashing it in the attic, gathering dust, make use of the summer! Drop off your old but good-as-new backpack at donation spots.
These magical donation spots tend to pop up during the summer holidays, offering the perfect opportunity to give a second life to your old backpack. The catch is they usually fill them up with essentials for kids in need: water bottles, lunch boxes, writing utensils and more! Exactly what they accept varies from spot to spot.
Wondering where to drop off your backpack in the FFH region?
Here are a few ideas:
- Dive into Local Schools: Connect with schools run by FFH. They might know about collection spots or partner organizations accepting backpack donations.
- Community Centers: Many community hubs host collection drives for school supplies and backpacks. They're a solid starting point for local initiatives.
- Churches and Non-Profit Organizations: Faith-based groups and non-profits often lend a hand for community service projects, including collecting school supplies.
- Explore Online Platforms: Social media and local online forums can be awesome for finding collection points or even starting a community drive!
