In August we held a school supply giveaway at our office. It was our first time to do it and it was a huge success. We collected donations of supplies from businesses and individuals. We had hot dogs provided by Hornback's Restaurant which is next door to our office. The radio station was there with a 3 hour live remote and we had a Farmers claim vehicle to attract attention. The first picture is of people starting to line up about an hour before we started. The Second picture is obviously the Farmers claims vehicle. I saved the best picture for last...my Mom Juanita, myself and our assistant Barbara.
Our biggest donor was Just Between Friends Sale of Muskogee. If you haven't heard of JBF you should check out their website at jbfsale.com . They have consignment sales all over the U.S.
On that Saturday in the 3 hour time frame we had we estimated we gave out about 900 bags of school supplies. Over the next 2 weeks we probably gave out another 200 to 300 more and donated supplies to schools as well. It was a great feeling to know we helped so many kids and parents. We plan to do it again every year. In fact we better get started now because it was a lot of hard work ;-)
