Fill a Backpack, Fill a Need 2016

The Back-to-School season has kicked off and with it many families needing to get their students ready for school. As with every year, however, many local families struggle financially to provide basic supplies. Hendrick Honda is happy to announce we are participating in the fifth annual Fill a Backpack, Fill a Need Campaign.

The Campaign is a great way to make a real impact on a child’s future by ensuring they have the tools they need to learn effectively. We all can remember the excitement as kids we felt the first day of school and how proud we were of our brand new Trapper Keeper, notebooks, and pencils. Help us ensure that every child can still have that same experience by helping us collect school supplies.

Hendrick Honda is taking donations until August 23, 2016 for Potomac View Elementary. The school currently has 900 students, 85% of which are on some type of food assistance program. The student population also includes some children who are part of the local homeless population.

You can help make a difference today simply by filling a backpack with the supplies below and dropping it off at Hendrick Honda Woodbridge.
