DISD AIEP is in need of 85 paper grocery bags with handles. If you have a connection to a business that could donate them, or if you’d be willing to purchase some for our program, we would truly appreciate the support.

These bags will be used to package independent summer learning kits for our Indian Education students, especially since our request for clear backpacks was not approved.

If you can help or know someone who can, please reach out. Thank you for supporting our students and community!

Picture is from last year but contents would be the same.
