The Optimist Club reached out to members and were rewarded with an SUV-load of crayons, paper, pencils, binders and more supplies than were expected. It took a flat-bed dolly to move the supplies inside and once inside the kiddos were there to help sort, stack and distribute the supplies to others.
As we know, the economic situation has made it especially tough for families to send their children back to school. School supply drives are becoming much more common amongst Optimist Clubs.Thanks to the Des Plaines Optimist Club for the pictures, the story and especially for serving your community.
