My wife has been heavily involved with Lynnwood’s Neighborhood Youth Alliance for years.This Saturday was supposed to be the culmination of a backpack & school-supplies drive. It wasn’t, exactly, though. Due to a few communication snafus, there was a fair amount of last-minute scrambling. However, there were adequate supplies to hand out to our kids in need so they would be prepared for school this Wednesday. Though there were a few gaps in supplies, they will be filled next week. And, also also, this delay allowed us to think and we were able to get donations of graphing calculators for some of our STEM students. Our community came together fast, and went beyond the obvious need. Makes me happy and proud to call this place home.
Below is a shot of the SECOND wave of donations, with the ask put forth barely a day before.
We learned a great deal, and next year will be even more effective. I love this place.
