Ames Golden K members have taken the opportunity to join those who are helping Ames and Story County children and families who may not be able to purchase “back to school” supplies. The program is coordinated by the Boys and Girls Club, YSS, and the Ames Volunteer Center. A “Back to School” Fair will be held in mid-August at Ames Middle School where supplies will be distributed. This year the program hopes to provide assistance to 800 youth and families.
Ames Golden K members have donated nearly $1,000 in school supplies and cash in support of the “Back to School” program. Pictured are Golden K members who attended their weekly meeting and displayed some of the many donated school supplies.
