An added $2.75 pack of pencils, a $5 Hello Kitty backpack or a $2 notebook can greatly support children in area schools experiencing homelessness or poverty. Catholic Charities is collecting dona- tions for parents like Mercedes Gonzalez and her husband, Fernando, who say the nonprofi t's school supply drive eases the expense of costly supplies every year. Their children attend Escuela de Guada- lupe Catholic School, Denver Center for 21st Century Learning and Gilpin Mon- tessori Public School. "The school supply drive helps us a lot because we are raising four children and it can get very expensive," she said in Spanish. "We give our sincere thanks and blessings to everyone who donates." Donors can support needy students by dropping o– donations July 25 at The Catholic Foundation Alliance at 3801 E. Florida Ave., which partners with Cath- olic Charities. Volunteers will be ready in the parking lot to receive the donations and provide a tax receipt. Nikki Soran, marketing and commu- nications coordinator with the Alliance, said school supplies can be costly for families. "When you think about the entire list and what the kids need to get, it can easily (reach) three fi gures," Soran said. Catholic Charities hopes to col- lect $10,000 in supplies and monetary donations to assist 3,000 area students prepare for the school year.
