Hands4Hope – Youth Making A Difference is once again rallying the community to support local students in need through their annual school supply drive.
This annual drive aims to collect essential supplies for over 700 students across El Dorado County and surrounding areas, ensuring they are well-equipped for the upcoming school year.
How You Can Help:
Donate Supplies: The organization is accepting donations of various school supplies including backpacks (especially for middle and high school students), calculators, binders, markers, and more. Items can be dropped off at numerous locations across Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Shingle Springs, and Placerville.
Sponsor a Student: If you prefer, you can sponsor a student by contributing through Hands4Hope’s Amazon Wishlist, allowing the organization to purchase needed items directly.
Stuff the Bus Event: The culmination of the drive will be the “Stuff the Bus” event on July 17th at El Dorado Hills Town Center. From 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, community members are encouraged to bring their donations to help fill a big yellow school bus parked near Target.
