We are so excited to announce our next project, in partnership with , which is an incredible nonprofit that supports Hampton Roads youth and young adults in foster care. We have an ambitious goal to collect and fundraise for 400 backpacks by early August, and we are asking for YOU to help us reach our goal. How can you support us?
👕👗👖🍋Come shop at our Clothing Sale on May 16th at the corner of Royal Oak Close and Stapleford Chase in Virginia Beach, from 8am-2pm. Proceeds will help us purchase backpacks. We will also be collecting NEW backpacks at this event and will be a lemonade stand!
🎒Check out our Amazon wishlist. The link is in the comments below and we’ve included backpacks that we, as middle and high school students, would love to use ourselves. It’s important to us that the backpacks are great quality and what we would choose for ourselves and our friends, because we want the recipients to love their backpacks too.
💰Donate to our Venmo by searching “foundation for community betterment” and please don’t forget to include “backpacks” in the memo.
👀Look out for our upcoming events and support us however you can!
♥️Please like and share this post and tag anyone you know who may want to help out.
We have the best community and we know you all will show up and help us get these 400 backpacks- thank you! 💫🎒🙌🏻
