School Supply GIVE 2014

Open Life strategically partners with various non-profit and community organizations in Bonney Lake, WA and the surrounding region. We continually ask them to dream big as it pertains to how the community can unite in order to meet the needs that are represented within their organizations. Liberty Ridge Elementary (LRE) is one of our strategic partners, approximately 62% of the families have experienced significant financial hardship and qualify for free and reduced lunches. This is the highest of all elementary schools in the Sumner School District.

The leadership at LRE had a dream in 2013 that the community would unite to provide 100% of the school supplies needed for the 2013-14 school year, and Open Life committed to see this dream come true. What an amazing experience for Open Life and all those who partnered with us to see this vision come to completion.

Guess what we committed to do again for the 2014-15 school year! With the help of individuals, organizations and the community uniting to make this dream happen, to make school happen! The total need financially is anywhere from $5,500-6,500 in order to supply the 486 students with the needed supplies for the school year. Open Life will match dollar for dollar the first $2,500 in donations through August 1st.
