Miracles for Kids Backpack Drive 2015

22 Jun 2015 3:41 PM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

OCPA is partnering with Miracles for Kids, a nonprofit organization in Southern California to collect backpacks to benefit Miracles for Kids’ children in the Back-to-School Basket of Miracles Drive.  Collected backpacks will be filled with school supplies and healthy snacks and delivered to critically ill children and their siblings as they prepare for the upcoming school year.

The Miracles for Kids backpack filling and distribution event will take place in August.  We are asking any member who would like to donate to bring a new, unused kids backpack for ages K-12 to any OCPA event by August 1st.  All those who donate will be entered into a drawing for a FREE OCPA MEMBERSHIP FOR 2016. For a tax write-off receipt, please provide proof of backpack purchase and Miracles for Kid’s will provide the donation receipt. Members can also make a direct donation to Miracles for Kids.  

Closer to August OCPA will be posting a volunteer event to help fill the backpacks that are collected. Details to be provided at that time.
