YMCA's Backpack & School Supply Drive: Today in Issaquah and Sammamish
Each day, Patch gives you a peek at events around Issaquah and Sammamish.

YMCAs on the Eastside will host a backpack and schoolΒ supply drive for local youth in need from August 5-23.
The drive is in memoryΒ of Nicole Lehtinen, a foster youth whose life was cut short in an auto accidentΒ at the age of 16.Β After her fatherΒ died, 6 year old Nicole became a foster child when her mother could no longerΒ care for her.Β As she enteredΒ foster care, all she had from home was her backpack.
Community members can support the drive by donating newΒ backpacks and school supplies to Eastside YMCAβs beginning Aug 5-23 at the CoalΒ Creek, Bellevue, Sammamish, Snoqualmie and Lake Heights locations.
For more information or an interview, please contact JoanΒ Zefkeles, Membership Services at Coal Creek YMCA 425-282-1500.
