Summer Community Involvement Campaign
Each year 15 million children don't have access to school supplies and over 94% of teachers spend their personal money to meet this need for children in their classrooms. Join the members of SGMP Louisiana for the Summer Community Involvement campaign to collect school supplies for children attending Negreet K - 12 public school in Louisiana. Chapter members and other interested parties may submit school supply donations for the Summer Community Involvement Campaign by bringing items for school aged youth to the August 10th meetings. Donations are accepted and may be completed by Feeding the Pig.
