Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I appreciate everyone who made a donation. Thanks to the volunteers, too, who gave their time and sweat to make this year's For the Children school supply drive a huge success.

Distribution Day was this last Saturday at Sanchez Elementary School in southeast Austin. Administrators and employees from at least 10 area districts came by to load up supplies for the start of the school year next week.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide supplies to over 50,000 students from K to 4th grade. It was the 20th year For the Children has been working hard to see that area school children succeed right from the very first day of class. Since 1989, For the Children has helped over 363,000 students in Central Texas.

For the Children is an all-volunteer non-profit organization, so 100% of all cash donations go to the purchase of school supplies. Since it can buy in bulk, For the Children can really make that dollar stretch!

Under $4.00 can supply one child. $20 can supply 6 students.

Area H-E-B stores made a huge difference this year with the $1, $3 and $5 scan cards. Thank you H-E-B for all of your help. We hope to partner with you again next year!

Volunteers: Zach Vasquez and his Dad and For the Children President, Xavier, along with Narda Hurt and Julie Miller

Volunteers: Debbie de Haas, Simon Eastwood and Luis Gutierrez
