Giving for backpacks that carry hope for homeless students

THERE’S no summer break for case managers trying to help their youngest clients prepare for a new school year.

On Monday, child and youth advocate Anne Bailey picked up 95 backpacks from the Seattle/King County Coalition for Homelessness’ annual supply drive. Many others did the same, stuffing packs into cars.

An educator before she began working with homeless families through Compass Housing Alliance’s HomeStep Family Program, Bailey knows the indignity children feel when they have to ask their peers and teachers for paper and pencils.
