The dates for "Kids Helping Kids Back to School" Program in Spokane and Coeur d'Alene are
August 9-10 and August 16-17, 2008.
Camp Fire USA Inland Northwest Council is proud to present its
14th Annual "Kids Helping Kids Back to School" Program.
Paper and pencils, notebooks and crayons, rulers and scissors—it’s time to think about going back to school! Along with the excitement of anticipating a new school year comes the reality that purchasing school supplies for several children can quickly overload the family budget.
Camp Fire USA, along with KHQ and our Success By 6 sponsors AmericanWest Bank, Deaconess Medical Center, Valley Hospital and Medical Center, and the Inland Northwest Dodge Dealers, want to help families who can’t afford school supplies for their children through the 13th Annual “Kids Helping Kids Back to School” School Supplies Drive. This year’s drive is scheduled for Saturday, August 9th and Sunday, August 10th and Saturday, August 16th and Sunday, August 17th.
With the average cost of school supplies running $25 to $100 per child, it can be very expensive for parents to buy all the school supplies a child needs. Last year, through the generous donations of the community, the Camp Fire School Supplies Drive was able to help over 1,200 kids in the Inland Northwest get the items they needed to start school.
You can help by donating school supplies – or cash – at the following locations:
| *Ben Franklin | Cheney | 6 Cheney-Spokane Rd. |
| Camp Fire Office | Spokane Valley | 524 N. Mullan Road |
| Dishman Dodge | Spokane Valley | 7700 E Sprague |
| HealthFirst | Spokane Valley | 915 N Pines Rd |
| KHQ-TV | Downtown Spokane | 1201 W. Sprague |
| Office Depot | Downtown Spokane | 1003 E. Third Ave. |
| Rosauers | Division “Y” | 9414 N. Division |
| Rosauers | Spokane Valley | 10502 E Sprague |
| *Rosauers | South Hill | 2610 E. 29th Avenue |
* Donations are collected at these locations on August 9th & 10th only.
Suggested school supplies to donate include:

Since the Camp Fire “Kids Helping Kids” School Supplies drive serves thousands of children, donated backpacks are always in great demand. There is also a great need for scissors, rulers, glue, and college rule paper. Cash donations are always welcome, and the money raised will be used to buy school supplies at discounted rates offered by local businesses.
School supplies are distributed through community agencies and the Camp Fire USA office. If you are a family or agency in need of supplies or would like to make a donation please contact the Camp Fire USA office at (509) 747-6191 or 1-800-386-2324.
