Thanks! Our Little Red Schoolhouse Project school supplies and fund drive raised $23,529.10 and tons of school supplies! Thanks to everyone who contributed!
Our radiothon was August 9, but it’s not too late to donate – make an online donation NOW!
Imagine having to choose between buying food and clothes or a backpack, crayons, and scissors for your school-age child! Each year, many parents look at the “Back to School” banners with dread as they face exactly these choices. The average cost of school supplies per child has grown to about $75 per child, too much if you’re already struggling to pay for rent, gas, and medical expenses! The Little Red Schoolhouse Project was founded in response to this need. Their goal is to see every child start school with basic school supplies and a backpack.
KXXO Mixx 96.1 will be broadcasting LIVE collecting funds and supplies for the Little Red Schoolhouse Project Friday, August 9, 2024 online, by phone at 360-943-9696, or in-person at KXXO, 119 Washington St. NE, downtown Olympia.
