Your help is needed! Volunteers are needed for the following event. Click on Sign Up to view available slots and book yourself directly online.
 
Mary Outley-Kelly (she oversees 28 elementary schools in the APS) is in my Leadership Akron Class.  When she told me about this volunteer opportunity we felt it was right up our alley!  The APS will have two drive-thru distribution sites for school supplies (North High School and Kenmore).  Our club will serve the North High School location on October 4th from 1-4pm.  Metro is donating bus services to get student families from across the district to these two locations also. 
 
All volunteers and recipients will be required to wear masks and social distance as well as there will be sanitizer on site.
 
Please Sign Up on the sheet like the AUL event. This would be for three - 1-hour increments with up to 10 volunteers each. 
 
The club members would have to register in advance due to social distancing and safety precautions. 
 
It is MANDATORY to pre-register. Unregistered volunteers will not be permitted to enter school grounds.
 
In conjunction, it is possible to make donations through the Akron Rotary Foundation for North High School specific school supplies that the high schoolers need from now until October 31, 2020.  These donations would be for school supplies to be used in the second half of the year. 
 
We could also arrange for donations of physical supplies at a few area member businesses if people are open to it or we can offer no contact porch pick-ups to retrieve donated items. 
 
If you should have any questions or need more information please reply to this email or call me at 330.858.6672.  Thanks!
