GM Wants to Help You with Back to School Supplies
Monday, July 23, 2012 at 11:08AM A few months ago I test-drove a Chevy Eco for a week as a treat for simply being a Mom. Now I'm partnering with GM Northeast to help fill backpacks of school supplies for local families!
Operation Backpack
I'll be getting a GM loaner car to use to deliver much-needed backpacks filled with all sorts of school supplies to Operation Backpack. My twins will be entering 4th grade and I am expecting to spend $50 or $60 on supplies...NOT including a new backpack and lunchbox! That is an incredible burden on many families in our area who have already been affected by the mortgage crisis, layoffs, and more. If you think you can help, I encourage join us August 9th as we deliver supplies for Operation Backpack to Central Union Mission at 1350 R Street, NW Washington, DC 20009. You might also consider donating direct to the Operation Backpack program at Volunteers of America.
Do YOU Need Help with School Supplies?

One local blogger is giving away $100 gift card for a local family to win to help purchase school supplies. Not only that, the winner will be chauffered around in a GM loaner car as they shop! Want to enter or do you know someone who really needs the help?
Visit The Mummy Chronicles to nominate someone you think might benefit from the generosity of both GM, and Vicky who is hosting the giveaway.
