Friends of Youth Supply Drive Helps Kids Go Back to School

Friends of Youth announces its annual Back-To-School Supply Drive to benefit youth in need in the Issaquah, Snoqualmie, and Riverview School Districts.  Local residents and businesses can make a big difference in the lives of youth in the community by donating supplies they need to help them succeed in school.
 
The Back-To-School Supply Drive will collect items from the list below from August 1-15.  Friends of Youth volunteers will then assemble the donated items into supply kits that will be delivered to students in time for their first classes.
 
Donated items may be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8:30 am to 5 pm at Friends of Youth offices and several community libraries Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm.  Look for the green drop boxes at the following locations:
