The annual school supplies and backpack drive for low income Alameda students was held in mid-August, readying children for the Aug. 27, school year opening. The Alameda Education Foundation organized the effort, seconded by local school representatives and parents. To avoid contamination during the pandemic, school supplies in sealed kits were inserted into backpacks at the school sites. Alameda Kiwanis Club helped in the deliveries of these large boxes to six schools across the Island. Pictured are Love Elementary School and Kiwanis volunteers. Many thanks to Vicki Sedlack, Executive Director of AEF, for her leadership in this drive.
