Our 2018 Back to school Backpack Bash (BBB)
Each bag contained typical school supplies of writing utensils, erasers, glue sticks, folders, notebooks and complimentary snacks.
The day ran smoothly with beautiful late summer weather shining through. After each family passed through the line, they were encouraged to enjoy several snacks and cold beverages, partake in a few games, get their face painted and even register with ADUD’s contact list.
We helped out about five hundred families, with a variety of gender and age sensitive bags being distributed. ADUD once again demonstrated its values and organizational emphasis on community service and education as an empowering tool among immigrant communities.
