Help Us Collect 100 Backpacks for Shoreline Students in Need

BECU Ballinger and DestinationShoreline.com are teaming up to launch a Backpack Drive supporting the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, and we need your help to reach our goal of collecting 100 backpacks by August 16!

Each year, the Shoreline Schools Foundation helps provide essential school supplies for local students, and this year the need is greater than ever. Our goal of 100 backpacks will meet over 10% of the Foundation’s total need, a huge contribution that will directly impact kids and families right here in our community.

Backpacks are being collected July 15 through August 16 at the BECU Ballinger location (20011 Ballinger Way NE, Shoreline, WA 98155) during regular business hours:

• Monday–Friday: 9 AM – 6 PM

• Saturday: 9 AM – 1 PM

The most-needed items are large, neutral-colored backpacks for middle and high school students, especially those with water bottle pockets. Checkout the Shoreline School Foundation wish list for the most needed backpacks: https://tinyurl.com/47v2mmff

As a thank-you to our community, we invite everyone to stop by an Open House at BECU on Friday, August 15 to pick up back-to-school essentials, enjoy some snacks, and learn more about the impactful work of the Shoreline Schools Foundation and the hosts of this Backpack Drive.

Let’s come together to set local students up for a successful school year, one backpack at a time!
