Goodwill Central Coast, with five locations in San Luis Obispo County, is your back to school headquarters for everything from clothing and book bags to school supplies. To celebrate in-person learning this year, Goodwill will give away 100 new backpacks filled with school supplies including pencils, erasers, rulers, notebooks, a shirt and much more.
San Luis Obispo radio station Wild 106.1 will hold a three-week promotion from July 15 – August 10, rewarding one deserving elementary school with 100 backpacks filled with school supplies from Goodwill. Wild 106.1 will reach out to its listeners for two weeks, asking them to nominate a school in SLO that deserves and needs the backpacks. The Top 10 school will be featured on the station’s website and listeners will be asked to vote for the most deserving one.
The winning school will be announced on air the following week, and Goodwill will present the backpacks to them, on the front steps of the winning school.
To nominate a school for this promotion, go to wild1061.com.
