Let’s kick Lee’s year off with the 2nd annual Back-to-School Backpack Stuffing for Huskies Helping Huskies, the 501(c)3 dedicated to helping those in need at Crabapple Middle School. Launched in 2015, Roswell Rotary Club and individual members of it have extended foundational support whether money, services, media and/or introductions the entire tenure. Middle School students do a lot of work with paper, posters, binders and pencils. These items are more expensive than ever before and the families are having to choose between food, gas or school supplies. Therefore, we are able to help the households by supplying the initial school supply list for the 40 students living on the margins and attending Crabapple.
Thank you in advance by going to our Amazon wishlist or the Walmart wishlist to supply the items needed. Then, after the meeting on Thursday, July 24th, those in attendance will be asked to stay and stuff the backpacks. So fun and so impactful.
RRC member, Becky Nelson, started the 501(c)3 when Shop With A Cop no longer could afford to include middle school students to shop with a police officer for their holiday gifts in 2015. There were many Crabapple Students who dependent on this for their gifts.
January 2016 the leadership held a meeting and made Huskies Helping Huskies a year round resource for any family or staff member involved with Crabapple Middle School.
