Kiwanis Book Distributions

KN, Oxford Academy, D30S

In the month of July, OAKC volunteered at two Kiwanis Book Distributions, one with the Kiwanis Club of Cypress at King Elementary School, and one with the Kiwanis Club of Los Alamitos at Oak Middle School. At these distributions, we, obviously, distributed books to families in collaboration with Summer Harvest, an organization that was distributing food to families with children. I went to both of the distributions, and I had an amazing time! At the first book distribution on July 9, cars pulled into the school parking lot and parked their cars, and each volunteer walked up to the cars with a clipboard, giving it to the parent so they could fill out the form with their name and the grade levels of their children. Then, we would go back to the book area and take the packed bags of books according to each grade level, and bring them back to the cars to deliver them to the families. Although it was definitely very hot and sunny, I had a great time meeting new incoming freshmen at the event, and also helping families in need! At the second distribution, the distribution was formatted as a drive-thru instead, in which cars would get in line to receive books from Kiwanis and food from Summer Harvest, so we went up to the passenger side window and asked for their name and grades, and delivered their books to them. Unfortunately there weren’t as many families coming as the previous distribution, but we were able to help a good amount of families and that’s all that matters. These book distributions are just some of the numerous food and item distributions we have at Oxford Academy Key Club, so I hope to see you guys at our events this summer, and to join as dues-paid general members for the school year!
