The City of Shoreline Choices program is a day program for adults with developmental disabilities.

 

The group benefits from the community’s generosity through donations to events and local attractions which allow the participants to explore the area.

This summer, the group decided it was time to give back to their community and started a donation drive that would be easy for all participants to support at a basic level. With the school year starting soon a supply drive for local students seemed the most fitting.

Participants so fully embraced the drive that enough supplies were received to donate to two different organizations; “Project Cool” which offers school supplies for homeless youth, and the “Back to School Consortium” which hosts their annual event on Saturday, August 29 at the North City Building, 816 NE 190th St, Shoreline.

If you wish to donate to the Back to School Consortium for Shoreline Schools students, there is a donation button on their webpage. Every dollar up to $10,000 will be matched by a local donor.
