PRESS RELEASE. From Holy Family Episcopal Church, Half Moon Bay.
Donate Volunteer
It is hard to think about the coming school year when we are just starting to enjoy our summers! To make sure that all the children in our community are ready for school and have what they need to learn.
Holy Family Episcopal Church is partnering with Coastside Hope and working with a number of Coastside organizations including: Abundant Grace Coastside Worker, the National Charity League Coastside Chapter, the Half Moon Bay Library, the Friends of the Library, Community Methodist Church, Coastside Lutheran Church, Coastside Jewish Community, the Lions club, the Rotary club, the Coastside Women’s Club, the Coastside Mothers Club and other community groups to raise funds, purchase school supplies and backpacks for local children who cannot afford them.
Last year we provided a record 483 children with backpacks. We expect a similar number or more this year. Please join us and pass this information on to other friends or coworkers whom you think would be interested in supporting our Coastside children.

We always need help as we prepare each year. This ranges from taking inventory of supplies we have on hand, to shopping for school supplies and more.We will also need help with stuffing the backpacks and distributing them. The stuffing and distribution will occur over several days to make it easier on parents to pick up the backpacks with children. The stuffing will occur at the Coastside Hope warehouse Saturday August 5th Sunday August 6th. We will set up the warehouse in the late afternoon and early evening of Friday August 4th. The distribution will occur at Coastside Hope’s office in El Granada on Thursday the 10th of August and Friday the 11th.
