Local nonprofit Hope’s Bridge Resource Center will be holding a donation event between Aug. 20-25 for over 300 children placed in foster, adoption or kinship placements.
“With community support we will provide 5-10 school outfits per child, a pair of shoes, and a [backpack] with school supplies,” Executive Director Julie Davis said in an email. “This will go a long way at helping these children feel and maintain a sense of normalcy in a pretty dark position.”
According to Treasurer and Assistant Director Kristi Hayes, the event will take place at 10461 Commerce Row, Ste. 101, Montgomery from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Aug. 20-25. On Aug. 23, however, the event will be open from 2-4p.m.
Community members can support the event by donating school supplies or providing funds to help cover the cost of a backpack filled with school supplies for children. According to Hayes, supplies for one child cost between $40-$60.
