School Supply Kits

JD, High Tech High International, D21

On August 6th, a few Key Club members and I participated in a three hour volunteering event at the San Diego Convention Center held by Supply Bank. During this time, we assembled school supply kits for kids in need. We packed tote bags with essentials, such as notebooks, whiteboards, pencils, and construction paper packs. We were set up in rows where each person had their own station and we would pass the tote bags down the row to make sure every pack had all the available materials inside. Our system was very well organized, in a big open space and we were able to pack thousands of kits for those who didn’t have access to the supplies they needed. Overall, I would say that this was a very cool and interesting experience, and it felt great to help out!
