Plano West Rotary worked with PISD and Douglass Community leaders for this free community event providing Douglass Community students & their families with back-to-school resources and essentials necessary for a successful school year.
They received school supplies and information for transportation, as well as physical & mental health assistance programs, including immunizations, vision & COVID-19 tests. There were also booths available in this "drive-thru", "contactless", safe event where they could get important information about the Census 2020 and voting. Lastly, on the way out of the parking lot, they could choose to receive a box of food, with the help & partnership of Minnie's Food Pantry. Additional boxes of food were also delivered door to door to identified residents in the Douglass Community.
Now for some stats! :)
We had 48 volunteers serving a total of 136 people-hours on August 8th, providing 323 backpacks to students (a value of over $16,000) and 189 meals (valued over $11,000).
And, some great pictures of these amazing volunteers!
