[UPDATE IMAGE]
It's once again time for the KOG Backpack Challenge! Our goal is to provide backpacks and supplies for all ?500? children who attend Dobie Pre-Kindergarten. You can help by making a monetary donation, purchasing backpacks and supplies, and volunteering with stuffing and delivery.
Dobie Pre-K, located in the Richardson ISD, serves preschoolers (3 and 4 year olds) with financial challenges and/or developmental or physical disabilities. Dobie has little parent involvement and teachers often provide important school supplies from their own salaries. The Backpack Challenge is just one of the many ways King of Glory supports Dobie Pre-K's teachers, students, and families.
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Make a Monetary Donation
King of Glory is collecting monetary donations to purchase all needed school supplies. We are able to purchase the requested supplies in bulk for a lot less than can be found in the store. To purchase the supplies and backpacks, we need approximately ?$12,000?. Donations are collected in the offering plate on Sundays, through KOGgives, and on the Venmo app @kingofglory.
Donate a Backpack and Supplies
We are accepting donations of 15"-18" new backpacks that will hold a standard size folder as well as a set of requested supplies for each student.
You can DROP OFF backpacks AT KOG or
you can ORDER ONLINE and have them DELIVERED.
Prefer to remain at home but would still like to participate?
