School supplies needed this week for local kids

Helping kids from low-income families start the school year on equal footing with their peers is the goal of Hopelink’s annual “Kids Need School Supplies” drive.

This year, Hopelink aims to provide 3,000 youth with the tools they need to succeed when school begins in the fall – including backpacks and such crucial supplies as notebooks, paper, pens and pencils, markers and folders. Distribution will begin in mid-August so donations are needed as soon as possible.

For more information on making a donation of supplies or cash to purchase supplies, contact the Hopelink Shoreline Center at 206-440-7300. Donations also can be made in person at the Center, 15809 Westminster Way N., Shoreline, WA, between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday-Friday.
