I know some of you guys have the scion back packs, some are the nice ones others are the cheap style. anyway I need back packs before April 8th. these will be filled with school supply’s and other stuff for young kids as well as adults and there family.

This is a part of the Seattle milk fund, please anything helps, but I want to get these back packs cause I know we in the community get a lot of these for free.

Also if any dealers have any extra scion swag, I could use that and it would be much appreciated.

Thanks and feel free to PM me if you have anything that you would like to give to the cause.

 

I sooo would donate my backpacks but I already promised all the ones I have to my mom, we are gonna fill them up with school supplies using our own money and she is gonna take them down to Mexico and give them to a school down there...

Sorry

 

If i can dig up any extra's i'll be sure to let you know! i might have one or two of the basic black ones with the rope straps

 

^ thanks just let me know.

 

I'll see what I have Nate. I have a few that I'm keeping, but I think I have some to give also, will let you know what I find when I get home.

 

I'll see what i have too nate - I think i only have two, one for each of us plus the one we got at united (which i want to keep) - does it have to be a scion backpack or any backpack

 

any back pack and any other free stuff that you would like to add. i know we all get a lot of free scion stuff.

 

yeah, but some of it is too cool to give up, lol. I know I have the ones from exposed, may have a few others. And, I have a set of the stuffed cars also, will throw them in too.

 

What are you in need of.......I know we only have the one backpack,and all theothers are used pretty much to the not new anymore.but what else do you need.

 

let me look around and see what i have here.. i think i have a backpack and some stuffed cars too, but i would have to look for them

 

i need school supply's (new/ newer) back packs, and scion swag.

 

^I gotcha dude. We have like 5 of the pull tight ones and the one we got fro Scion slam (somewhere). I will fill with what i have but might need your help locating some

 

I may have an extra one or two! I have a few scion swag items as well. I will try and get things together soon!

Im sorry but i gotta express my opinion here! Why would you give things to Mexico! We have so many kids in need here plus I guarantee those kids will be in the states soon enough as illegals reeping the benefits we actuall americans should have! Sry but I am tired of people helping out other countries when we got things in our own country going on that are more important!

Sry Nate!! But helping the actual kids of america FTW!!

 

ohhhhhhhhhhh someones going to be mad LOL let the smack talk begin LOL

 

Im not worried!

 

DO NOT GET OFF TOPIC. this is for the KIDS.

 

Seattle Milk Fund: Not Just Milk Anymore

Seattle Milk Fund’s name is derived from its former primary service of sponsoring families for free milk deliveries. These milk deliveries ceased in the early 1990s with the closure of a supplier of milk and in light of the greater need in other program areas. Seattle Milk Fund is currently comprised of 375 volunteer members, belonging to one of 29 circles, who work together on a variety of fundraising and service projects. Each circle sends representatives to a monthly governance meeting. Circles tend to form based on neighborhood, work, or college affiliations, and are often named for notable local women philanthropists. Being part of a circle is socially and personally fulfilling, it is an easy way to volunteer, and to donate, to help families in the Seattle area. It is a direct service opportunity for volunteers and donors to see the benefits of their money and efforts.

While the face of Seattle Milk Fund’s assistance has changed substantially since 1907 when assistance consisted mainly of food, milk, and flower deliveries to widowed mothers or the very ill, the driving principles remain the same. Presently, Seattle Milk Fund assists the community with 4 main programs:

1. Childcare Grants. Seattle Milk Fund provides partial childcare grants while one or both parents attend school. This program is designed to meet the needs of both parents and children, as parents work toward educational goals and financial independence, and the children get a valuable early learning opportunity in a quality licensed childcare or preschool. This year Seattle Milk Fund is assisting over 70 families with childcare grants, totaling over $278,000. Seattle Milk Fund is the only charitable source of funding in the area for childcare costs for college students.

2. Education Grants. Seattle Milk Fund provides tuition and book grants to students attending local colleges, universities, and vocational schools. Seattle Milk Fund selects grant recipients based on a combination of need, motivation, and scholastic ability, with priority consideration given to students that are parents. Seattle Milk Fund awards tuition and textbook scholarships to over 40 students per year, totaling over $100,000.

3. Family Assistance. Seattle Milk Fund assists families in urgent need of basic necessities, including food, clothing, diapers, hygiene supplies, and household items. In the last fiscal year, Seattle Milk Fund has assisted hundreds of families on a short-or-longer term basis, with items ranging from $25 food gift cards to whole sets of furniture. Additionally, many families receive Thanksgiving and Christmas sponsorships.

4. Children’s Supplies. Seattle Milk Fund provides shoe vouchers, backpacks and school supplies to children in the greater Seattle area. So far this year, 2470 shoe vouchers, over 880 backpacks, and thousands of dollars in school supplies have been distributed.

 

Nate is involved with Seattle Milk Fund ( as posted above )
XBLove is buying supplies with her own money and not looking for donations that her family will be taking to Mexico.

So in closing Nate + Seattle Milk Fund = FTW!

 

hey something i just got from a gall at work that is putting this hole thing together that im helping.

"Hi,

So I just happened to look at that link you gave me to your Scion group --- WOW!!! Didn't realize it would get so political! And as much as I absolutely appreciate your help, would you mind clarifying one thing to them? It's not just school supplies!!! Yes, I need those too, but really looking for basic toiletries like soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, laundry detergent, gently used clothing, shoes, kids books, crayons, coloring books, toys, family board games - even motor oil and basic things to keep the family car going so that folks to get to jobs and interviews for jobs. This is (specifically) benefitting the Emergency Assistance Program through the Seattle Milk Fund so this is not on-going charity. This is stuff that people who are desperate and have no other resources can get what they need when they are at their worst. It's not a food bank where they can keep coming back every week. They fill out an application saying what they need the most to get by and that's what they get. So anything and everything that someone has they want to give (even shoelaces and dry or canned dog/cat food) I'll take!

Thanks again for you help! I really appreciate it and I'm really happy to see that so many of your peeps are responding!!! Guess you're an "ok" kind of guy! "

 

^^ hmmm that opens things up a bit... I'll see what we can scrounge up....
