PROJECT BACKPACK- THANK YOU LETTERS

I used to be the outreach director at The Warehouse.  The Warehouse is a community center in the heart of East Vancouver and was dedicated to helping people in the community in whatever way we could.  That could involve any matter of things such as tutoring, ESL, helping people move, and other means of support.

One year we decided that we were going to help out a inner city school in Vancouver and an at risk neighborhood in our area.  After meeting with the teachers and administration of the school we were able to assess that there was a need for students in the school to have backpacks and school supplies.  

So we began on our new mission to procure 300 backpacks and fill them full of school supplies. We reached our goal and were able to bless 300 hundred elementary students with new backpacks and school supplies.  We went to a housing complex in our neighborhood and setup some BBQ’s and bouncy castles, had a block party and handed out the backpacks.  It was an amazing day.

Here are a few of the Thank You letters we got from the students who received the backpacks.
