Bellevue Alumnae Chapter members team with the East King County YWCA to help children start the school year with the proper supplies!

Bellevue Alumnae Chapter members continue to provide their support to women and children at the YWCA Family Village. The Family Village provides a safe and stable place for homeless families to recover from crisis and begin the process of rebuilding their lives. Many Sorors donated book bags to the Family Village as well as families impacted by hurricane Katrina.

Each year the YWCA provides a list of supply items, and from that list chapter members work together to purchase or gather supplies to fill book bags. This year's contribution included students from kindergarten through high school. Proud Grandmother Soror Pauline Hill, purchased several bags for kindergarten girls while also purchasing a bag for her kindergarten granddaughter!

The donation by the Bellevue Alumnae Chapter will go a long way in helping mothers with the cost of new school supplies and in building the self-esteem of students as they enter critical years in their education!
