Christine Loewe, coordinatrice marketing pour le Volunteer Center du comté de Santa Cruz, dit que l’association entre United Way et le service educationel du comté de Santa Cruz est une idée qui est survenue en 2009 quand l’économie a affecté la population.
Le programme est axé pour les familles à bas revenu ainsi que ceux qui vivent dans la rue. Les items en demande sont des sacs à dos (pas de couleur rouge ou bleue), des cartables à trois anneaux, du papier, des cahiers à spirale, calculatrices, des bâtons de colle, des certificats-cadeaux pour des chaussures et vêtements. On accepte également des dons monétaires.
Pas besoin d’être riche pour donner: je suis présentement en invalidité et cette semaine, j’ai fait mon don de $20. Un don à la fois est mieux que pas de don du tout.
Soyez généreux en ce samedi!

For its third consecutive year, the “Stuff the Bus” program is going on today in Capitola, at the Palace Art store, from 10 until 2. For a small $20, you can help a youth to have a nice filled school backpack.
Christine Loewe, outreach and marketing coordinator for the Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County, said the partnership between United Way of Santa Cruz County and the Santa Cruz County Office of Education is an idea whose time has come because of budget cuts and the tight economy.
The program is targeted at low-income and homeless children in need of school supplies. Items that are needed include backpacks -- no red or blue colors -- three-ring binders, binder paper, spiral bound notebooks, rulers, pens, pencils, color crayons, colored pencils, color markers, calculators, glue sticks, shoe gift certificates and clothing gift certificates.
No need to be filthy rich to give: I am currently on disability on a tight budget and this week, I gave a $20 donation for the program. One donation at a time is better than no donation at all.
Be generous on this Saturday!

I just discovered this blog and love everything about it. The choice of topics; the desire to make the world a better place; the good photographer's eye for visuals; the love of family; and the living in the moment. It's been a while since I found the written word so consistently life affirming.
Thank you to be a new reader of my blog. I really appreciate you took the time to stop by and appreciate my work.
Sincerely,
Nathalie S. Roths
