Rotary Club: Santee-Lakeside Project Title: Buddy's Backpacks 1. Describe the project. What was done, when and where did project activities take place? Many families are not able to afford backpacks and school supplies for their children, yet these items are important to their educational success. Children get more excited about the school year when they have new supplies. Buddy's Backpacks collects backpacks and school supplies for local children. These items are then distributed to any child who needs one during their distribution day at local schools. Children are allowed to pick their own backpack, which makes them very happy. Last year, 1600 full backpacks were distributed. 2. How many people benefited from this project? 1250 3.
