I’m excited to share with you today an Alexis de Tocqueville Society volunteer event that is just around the corner! We know that all too many students arrive on the first day of a new school year with the desire to learn but without all the necessary school supplies needed. UWABC is coordinating with local nonprofits, who directly work with Buncombe County students, to gauge the need of our students. We aim to provide 2,350 backpacks to grade school children across Buncombe County, and we need the Tocqueville Society’s help in stuffing backpacks. Come on out and volunteer with fellow Alexis de Tocqueville Society members on August 1st!

Is this a family-friendly event? Yes, although please consider that Haywood Road is a busy street and it is important that you and your children stay alert and safe throughout the clean up.
