Youth Center Seeking Help with School Supplies

Enumclaw Youth and Family Services is preparing more than 300 backpacks for kids going back to school and they need your help.

Here's a notice we saw this week in the summer newsletter for :

It is that time of year again where all the stores fill with school supplies. Here at EYFS every August, we organize and hand out over 300 backpacks filled with the basic school supplies to Enumclaw students. We could use your help collecting new school supplies for the back packs. We need glue, glue sticks, pencils, composition notebooks, pens, colored pencils, 24 pack boxes of crayons, markers, eraser, spiral notebooks and folders. For a complete list of needs give us a call (360-825-4586)! Please bring your donation to the Youth Center.

And yes, though it's July, the Enumclaw School District has also put up school supplies lists for all the district's schools for the upcoming 2012-13 academic year. Click here to view them if you didn't already have your child(ren)'s lists.
