ASCE OC Community Service: School Supplies for Success Drive

Each year, countless homeless, foster, and low-income youth in Los Angeles County start the school year without the basic supplies they need to succeed.

Through the months of July and August, the ASCE Orange County Younger Member Forum Community Service Committee collaborated with the Assistance League of Los Angeles for a successful School Supplies for Success campaign!

In total, we received almost 500 packs of school supplies - notebooks, composition paper, pens, markers, backpacks, and more, in addition to notable contributions made directly to to the Assistance League of Los Angeles' wish list!
