On August 25th, 2023, the AYLUS Orlando branch participated in HOPE Helps’ Back to School Bash by helping assist participants, handing out school supplies, organizing the items, and cleaning up the area after the event ended. This was the first Back to School Bash that AYLUS members have participated in.
The following is the description of the HOPE Help’s Back to School Bash Event, retrieved from the official Hope Helps website:
“Over the past 15 years, HOPE Helps, our Interfaith Coalition, local businesses and our generous community have provided thousands of underprivileged children with the school supplies they need for a successful school year.
HOPE is now preparing for our 16th Annual Kids of HOPE Back to School Bash event on August 3, 2024 at the First Church of Oviedo and we need your help!
At the Bash, local children in need will pick out a new backpack and then “shop” for a full list of school supplies, socks, underwear and toiletries of their choosing, plus they will receive an eye screening, a free family lunch, and access to local resource agencies! This amazing event wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community partners. We hope you will consider one or more of the following ways to get involved and help make a difference in the lives of our children and families in need.”
This event occurred on August 25th, 2023.
The following members participated in the Adopt-a-road volunteer activity, 4 hours for following each person: Dylan Wang, Jason Wang.
