The IES DC is participating in Lutron’s 2nd annual backpack filling drive on August 5th. We are providing essential school supplies for local children in need and supporting SOME (So Others Might Eat) Back to School Campaign. For over 50 years SOME has been a beacon of hope in Washington D.C., breaking cycles of poverty and homelessness. Their Back-to-School campaign directly empowers children with the tools for success. Join us to make a difference. You can participate by filling backpacks with school supplies. Join us on August 5th from 8AM-7PM. There will be 3 sessions. Feel free to come to one or all. Food will be provided at each session.
- Breakfast 8-10am – You fill the backpacks and we will provide breakfast along with coffee, tea and fresh juice bar
- Lunch 12 – 2pm – A true power lunch. Come join us for a tasty catered lunch while you fill backpacks that will empower local children arrive at school this year ready to learn!
- Happy Hour 4-7pm – Do good and have fun! Enjoy filling backpack while listening to great music snacking on tasty bites and sipping amazing cocktails, and mocktails handcrafted by our guest mixologist. We will conclude the evening with our “hand off” ceremony where we will present the backpacks to SOME and other local organizations
