We are excited for WPI Alumni and their families to serve BEAM together! Several opportunities to serve between the dates of August 1–4 are available through BEAM’s Sign-Up Genius. Please see our recommendations below.
BEAM has requested donations as listed in this flier. Specifically, WPI Alumni will work to collect uniforms and belts.
If you will be out of town or have children younger than 6 years of age that you would like to collect and shop for donations with, contact Caroline Brinton ‘10 at cbrinton@jaxcf.org for opportunities to drop-off contributions in advance.
To learn more about Back to School with BEAM, take a few minutes to watch their 2017 video.
Families will also receive books, thanks to a grant from the Beaches Community Fund to READ USA.
