Street Angels and Missiongathering Christian Church are proud to present and celebrate our first annual ultimate school supply drive for elementary students living in urban San Diego.
San Diego’s urban villages are continuing to be cultural and trendy hotspots for residents and visitors. Though our neighborhoods are “up and coming” or already here, there are needs to be met and have been urging our involvement for some time. So…we decided to take on a huge responsibility in hopes to impact our urban communities through revitalizing Street Angels and taking Street Angels to the hallways of local elementary schools by hosting an ultimate school supply drive called Street Angels Presents: PACKED OUT. Street Angels is prepared to equip every student in our community with backpacks full of supplies but only with the help of the community itself.
Restaurants and businesses throughout urban San Diego have supported PACKED OUT by hosting collection bins and encouraging their patrons and other community members to assist these families that do not have the means to provide their children with supplies. Thus far, hundreds of supplies are being collected and the community of Missiongathering Christian Church have provided almost 200 backpacks for Jefferson Elementary in North Park.
As more and more people are discussing PACKED OUT…more and more groups and individuals are becoming increasingly more willing to be involved in their community. From a collegiate residence to an architectural firm, our San Diego communities are eagerly willing to help these students and families that are in need.
If you’d like any information on PACKED OUT or how to do a supply drive for your own community…let us know! john@missiongathering.com
