■ Bluebird District merchants support ‘Stuff for Students’ school supply drive with stroll down Colfax from Fillmore to Monroe
The merchants in the Bluebird District... on Colfax between Fillmore & Monroe... will team up Aug. 9 to collect school supplies for local students. The event, titled “Back to Class,” is being held as part of the Volunteers of America and Channel News “Stuff for Students” effort.
The progressive appetizer/drinks party will encourage participants to stroll from shop to shop in the resurgent business district, sampling hors d’oeuvres while investigating what the eclectic variety of independently-owned, storefront businesses have to offer.
In exchange for a donation of school supplies, customers will receive coupons and/or discounts from the merchants and will become eligible for a Grand Prize drawing.
Items requested for the supply drive include: backpacks, ruled filler paper (wide & college ruled), handheld pencil sharpeners, pocket folders, black & blue pens, scissors (all ages), #2 pencils, packs of colored pencils, pencil boxes, crayons (24-count), colored markers, highlighters, white glue, glue sticks, erasers, and rulers.
The event will be held 4:30-7:30 pm.
