SO-GOis a thing!
At the end of the school year, work with us to pack and deliver your school's donation of surplus supplies to the Envision Unlimited Frick Center, 2124 W. 82nd Place on Wednesdays from 12 - 6pm and Fridays and Saturdays from 11am - 2pm. Email to let us know when you are coming -- info+sogo@creativechirx.org.
What is School's Out Green Out?
CCRx invites Chicagoland schools to gather their leftover supplies from locker and classroom clean-out at the end of the school year. Share within your school first, then bring what's left to CCRx. We'll redistribute the good stuff to Chicago teachers at our next back-to-school Swap Circle for Teachers.
With 80% of CPS students living below the poverty line and teachers reaching into their pockets for basic supplies, you know there'll be folks who can use what your school doesn't need any longer!
To participate, all we need is one point-person (teacher, parent, homeroom, class or club) who can rally the school. It can be as simple as putting boxes in the hallways during locker clean-out, or more involved with awareness campaigns (posters, announcements, etc.), weighing and tracking, etc.
