All 100 participat ing children have been identified in partnership with the Hayward Police Department Youth and Family Services Bureau. The event is sponsored by Ha yward Rotary Club with JCPenney and the support of many community partner s. Child Spree is our community service project that has provided much ne eded clothing and backpacks to disadvantaged K-8 school-aged children in Hayward. The stats from HUSD say that over 70% of Hayward public school s tudents fall into that category. The Hayward Rotary Club is the key partn er in raising funds and coordinating this annual event\, which has suppor ted children and families in our community for nineteen years. The mornin g of the event\, the child (with or without one parent) is partnered with volunteer shoppers\, who assist in choosing new clothing\, which\, of co urse\, empowers the student to start the new school year on a positive no te. After shopping\, the children receive a backpack and school supplies to equip them further for school. For icing on the cake\, Friends of the Library are there to give them free reading books! The shopping starts a round 8 AM and is over by the time the mall opens! Volunteers need to be there by 7:30. Volunteers and donations are needed and gladly accepted. To volunteer: please use the "Back to School Child Spree 2022" button on this page. There are specific groups for volunteers. Find the group that matches your affiliation or\, if you don't see it\, sign up as a Communit y Member. (contact Valerie Caveglia at vcave2@yahoo.com) Donations in a ny amount are accepted. The event goal is to raise $125 per child ($12\,5 00 total). To make a tax-deductible donation\, please make checks payable to Hayward Rotary Foundation and mail to: Hayward Rotary Foundation\, P. O. Box 629\, Hayward CA 94543 The shopping experience this year will loo k like this: One parent may accompany one child and a volunteer. If there is more than one child with a parent\, they will each have their own vol unteer. If there is no parent\, then 2 volunteers will accompany the chil d. The volunteer(s) will have the gift card and the responsibility to hel p the child shop well\, keeping track of how much is spent. The gift card s will be for $100. Many things will be at 25% off that day\, and we won' t be paying sales tax on the use of the gift cards. Getting the most bang for the buck is the goal that day... so it's not a good idea to spend $5 0-$60 on a pair of shoes!! VERY IMPORTANT: Please be on the lookout for Volunteer Do's and Don'ts that will be emailed to you a few days prior to the event.
