Back to School Distribution- Let's fill some backpacks!

Calendar Happens On Aug 29, 2026
Time 1-4pm

Description

The students will be helping out on our Back to School Campaign distribution. Every year ESWA volunteers and supporters collect and distribute school supplies for our members' school-aged children. We know that that time of year adds an extra burden to working peoples' budgets. We tackle that burden through the supplies and clothing given out, saving our members hundreds. The 29th is the second day of the sort/distribution so the students will be filling all the backpacks using lists that are made based on age/grade. This is a very hands-on project, and I think it's a lot of fun. The location for the event is 60 Bittner St. Rochester, NY 14604 at Salem United Church of Christ.
