"350 Kids Receive New Backpacks"

On August 16th, kids from low income families in East Palo Alto received brand new backpacks stocked with school supplies. The giveaway, with the mobilization of the local community, was organized by Samaritan House South and One East Palo Alto. The supplies for the backpacks are donated by local companies, small businesses, community groups, religious organizations, student groups and individuals who want these students to go back to school with everything they need. Every child deserves to walk into class confident and ready for school! - Aug 16, 2019
