The Orchard Place School Supply Drive hit a major milestone. During a 4 week period 19 volunteers helped fill 630 backpacks for kids served by Orchard Place.
Each backpack is filled according to what the child's school requests. This requires a coordination of school supplies and volunteers to make it all possible.
This year's volunteers came from the following companies:
ITA Group
Cornerstone Dental
Mittera
Stroh Corp
EMC Insurance
Waukee Schools
Primary Health Care
Wells Fargo
Great Western Bank
Continental Western Group
Berkley Agribusiness
Marsh/Mercer
US Bank
McGill Junge Financial/Northwestern Mutual
United Way
On behalf of everyone at Orchard Place and the kids who are starting the school THANK YOU!
More information on individuals and companies who helped provide a record number of supplies will be posted soon.
