This is our 3rd annual canned food/toiletries drive for our local high school, East Lincoln High. It came to our attention a few years ago that they have a need for their Backpack Program. This program provides a backpack full of food and toiletries on Friday afternoons to students that are in need for the weekend. Our son is a student there and wanted to help. We're all in!This year we are changing it up just a little. They are pretty stocked with canned food to get them to the end of the school year. What they really need right now are toiletries and drinks and high protein items (like protein bars/shakes). Therfore, we are offering an alpaca interaction at no cost in exchange for a donation of toiletries, drinks, or high protein items (see list of needs below). You can feed the alpacas and take pictures and selfies. We will not be offering our formal tour, but instead skipping all the education and heading straight to the animals!
Please sign up to attend because our parking is limited and we need to spread people out. We encourage a minimum 3 items per person, but are happy to take as much as you want to offer. Last year you all did NOT disappoint and we provided enough food for a year. It's time to do it again and we love to use the draw of the alpacas to do some GOOD.
Can't attend, but want to help? Options include: Venmo @goodkarmaranch and note Backpack Program or send gift cards directly to the school itself noting the school Backpack Program, drop items off to the school directly with a note Backpack Program.
Items most needed: NOTHING EXPIRED OR CLOSE TO EXPIRATION or it will have to be thrown away.
High Protein Items (shakes, protein bars, meat-based meals)
Drinks (They mentioned they never get to send up drinks)
Toiletries needed:
Male or female scented soap or unscented soap
Body wash
Deodorant
