Shoreline community donates over 150 backpacks to support Shoreline students

150 backpacks donated for Shoreline students

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our Shoreline community, more than 150 backpacks were donated to support the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation during this year’s Backpack Drive, hosted by BECU Ballinger and DestinationShoreline.com.

Throughout the month-long drive, community members dropped off backpacks that will help ensure local kids are prepared for a successful school year. These donations make a direct and meaningful impact for Shoreline families and highlight the strong spirit of giving that defines our city.

“We are so grateful to everyone who stopped by, donated, and joined us for the Backpack Drive Open House,” said Maia Lark, Branch Manager, Ballinger BECU, “These contributions help set students up for success and remind us how powerful community support can be.”

Special Thanks to Our Partners:
The Shoreline Public Schools Foundation continues to play a vital role in providing resources and support for students across the district. BECU Ballinger was proud to serve as a collection site and partner in this effort, reinforcing their commitment to supporting the neighborhoods they serve.
