Help{=}Hope, a program of Children of The Americas, is holding our 3rd annual school supply drive to benefit New Mexico kids. Last year we distributed backpacks stuffed with supplies, to over 200 children!
Please join us and donate school supplies so even more of New Mexico’s kids have the basic tools they need to succeed in the up-coming school year!
If you can get a group together from your church, work, or other organization and have a school supply party, so much the better!
All items should be new and can be dropped off at the locations listed below by Aug. 6th. Monetary donations can be mailed to Help{=}Hope at PO Box 66765, Albuquerque, NM 87193.
For more information, to arrange a pickup, or if you know of a child in need, please call Alexis at 505-610-8243 or Laura at 505-715-0091.
