Augsburg Wellbeing : School Supply Drive

submitted by peterlin@augsburg.edu

This summer has, once again, flown by in a flurry of activity! The academic year is just around the corner, which means neighborhood kids –and young adults–are starting to get ready for the first day of school.

As our annual kick-off to the school year, Augsburg Wellbeing is sponsoring a School Supply Drive to feel good, by doing good. All donations will be delivered to People Serving People. This non-profit organization is located in downtown Minneapolis. As the largest and most comprehensive, family-focused homeless shelter in Minnesota, your donations will have a huge impact in our community. Learn more about People Serving People at their website: http://www.peopleservingpeople.org/.

From August 5th to August 23rd, donations will be accepted in Human Resources, Memorial Hall, Room 19. Help make sure each and every child has the supplies they need to be successful!
