1,411 essentials. 13 NWPMA member companies. 0 still in transit.
Together, we delivered 375 pairs of socks, 372 tote bags, 205 backpacks and duffels, 75 t-shirts, 17 sweatshirts, and 367 comfort items and extras to P48 (Project 48).
Here's why that matters. Project 48 packs about 50 essential bags every month for foster youth ages 7 to 23 across four counties. They purchase roughly 85% of what goes into those bags. Every item our industry donates helps reduce what Project 48 has to purchase, freeing more resources for the programs that support these young people.
A huge thank you to AAkron Line, Altitude Group, Bag Makers, Color Graphics, ETS Express, Greater Pacific, Hit Promotional Products, HPG Brands, Kaplan Sales & Marketing, Proper Print Source, Rach Incorporated, S&S Activewear, SanMar and Sock101Promo.
The show is over. The need is not.
Our next 30-day goal: 100 joggers requested by Project 48, plus an NWPMA target of 100 sweatshirts. We currently have 17 sweatshirts and 0 joggers.
