The Need
Last week, we were preparing for the Back to School Extravaganza but still waiting on sponsorships for 280 students. We asked the community to consider sponsoring a student for $25.
As the week went on, we began to receive sponsorships, but we also continued to have children register to receive school supplies. Currently, 350 under-resourced students will attend the event on August 2 to enjoy time with their family, haircuts, chicken sandwiches, community resources, and more.
Your Response
In just one week, Folsom showed up for our students, and every single one has been sponsored by you all. Thank you!
These sponsorships provide students with grade-appropriate school supplies. Students will receive crayons, markers, pencils, erasers, glue sticks, highlighters, notebooks, pens, index cards, and more. Additionally, the community is providing professional haircuts and hygiene kits. Your generosity is giving under-resourced students in Folsom an extraordinary start to the school year!
