Auburn Youth Resources wishes to express its appreciation to Auburn and the extended community who came through again this year and provided school supplies for over 150 AYR clients.

Thank you to all the businesses – The Auburn Downtown Association; HBT Insurance; American Karate Escrima Association; Lowe’s; Magical Garden; ACE/AgriShop; and Zones, Inc. – who participated as collection sites for AYR’s Back to School Backpack and Supplies Drive.

Thank you to all the golfers who shared the wealth at AYR’s annual golf tournament and specifically donated to the Back to School program.

Thank you to all the individuals and families who collected and came in to AYR with their Back to School backpack and supply donations.

Thank you to the volunteers from the community and Auburn Riverside Key Club who donated their time to prepare the backpacks and supplies for distribution.

Because of all of you, more than 150 backpacks with supplies went out to children from preschool age through high school. The students were filled with the joy of knowing that you care and that they matter.

Please contact me, AYR client event coordinator, at 253-939-2202 or TiariDe@ayr4kids.org to get involved.

Come feel the excitement of celebrating the success and hope of youth and families in our community.
