Students and parents know the start to the school year begins with the WeCareCannon event. Community volunteers are working tirelessly this weekend to make sure that backpacks are packed, hygiene products are bagged, shoes and socks and underwear are bundled and ready to go, and school Spirit T-shirts are ready to be worn for all the families and children that will participate in WeCareCannon 2020.
This is the 10th annual back to school initiative for our county! It will take place this Sunday, July 26 at Woodbury Grammar School from 2:00pm-5:00pm.
A record amount of funds have been collected, and more heavily than before by local community businesses and individuals. Just over $50,000 has been raised to outfit a large portion of the students with what they need to be prepared for a new school year.
Volunteer information can be found through Facebook and other social media sites.
To take advantage of WeCareCannon, families are asked to begin to line up no earlier than 12noon this Sunday in the parking lot of Woodbury Grammar School. Due to efforts to decrease the spread of COVID-19, the 2020 event will be strictly a drive-through event for the families and their students.
All of the usual school supplies and products will be given to the students, however due to other precautions services such as haircuts and sports physicals cannot be given this year.
WeCareCannon volunteers wish to thank everyone who has helped in anyway!
