Convoy of Hope need volunteers for its back-to-school event on July 23rd.
The event has expanded this year, with 9 drive-thru locations making distributions simultaneously. They include 6 in Wichita, 1 in Valley Center, 1 in Goddard, and 1 in Hutchinson.
However, with more locations comes the need for more volunteers to hand out groceries, coupons, backpacks full of school supplies, and more. Those interested in helping from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. on July 23rd can get information and sign up at www.volunteerkansas.org.
Locations still in need of volunteers include McAdams Park (1329 E 13th St N, Wichita), Bethel Life Center (3777 S Meridian, Wichita), Evergreen Park (2700 N Woodland, Wichita), and His Helping Hands (1441 E 37th St N, Wichita). Volunteers expect to give away more than 9,000 backpacks and serve more than 6,000 families who are preparing their children to return to school in the fall.
More information can be obtained by emailing contact@volunteerkansas.org, or by calling 316-260-9479.
