Back-to-School Community Outreach

9/30/2021

0 Comments

 
Stroller Warriors® believes community outreach is a valuable piece of the Stroller Warriors mission.  Along with running and fitness goals, Stroller Warrior chapters strive to support the local military and civilian communities through charitable events, donation drives, community clean ups, and philanthropic opportunities.
 
After a full school year of virtual learning for some, back to school time was a celebratory event for everyone; however, many families are still feeling the financial impacts of COVID. Two Stroller Warrior chapters organized a summer outreach event collecting schools supplies in their respective areas to help families with back-to-school costs:

In July, Stroller Warriors Pearl Harbor gathered school supplies for a local school off post with a goal of aiding at least 10 students.  Beforehand, Kathylee Q. organized a school supply list of essential items needed for students for the first day of school.  Three drop-off locations were set up, and items were collected for over a 2-week period.  Members of Stroller Warriors Hawaii donated over $250 worth of school supplies! 
​
In August, members from Stroller Warriors Virginia Beach arranged a collection for Chesapeake Preschool Initiative (CPI).  Unlike many first, come first serve preschools- CPI uses an application based preschool program with a focus on a child’s need for preschool involvement using factors such as income, military service, and parent/guardian education for program enrollment.  Workout leaders collected school supplies at weekly events and organized a porch drop-off with Andrea O.  The chapter collected a large pile of goods ranging from backpacks to writing/coloring utensils to tissue. 

​Thank you, Stroller Warriors Pearl Harbor and Virginia Beach, for your helpfulness and generosity which surely helped children on their back-to-school journey!
