2008 "Rainbow Backpack" Drive
The 2008 school supply drive was another great success. Our goal was to assemble at least 500 backpacks full of school supplies, and on August 28, a COTA crew assembled 540 packs that will be delivered and distributed to school children in northern Baja the first week of September.
People from all over the U.S. contribute to the effort every year, directly in supplies and packs and in cash donations, and we thank everyone who helped this year.
Kids need school supplies year round, though, so if you'd still like to help with school supplies for kids, it's never too late. Click here for more details or call 949-293-4259.
