Donate your back-to-school supplies to local students in need at Meadowood Mall August 17-21

Stop by Meadowood Mall in the next two weeks and make a donation to support local schools and students in Washoe County.

Chelsey Allodi with curator :, a marketing firm representing Meadowood Mall, wrote us recently and shared some great news with us here at Windy Pinwheel. We are always in favor of helping out our local community and found this event at Meadowood Mall worth sharing. We hope you can stop by and join in.

Over the next two weekends Meadowood Mall will be celebrating the property’s grand reopening. Now that the mall has finished major renovations, they are celebrating with an variety of family-friendly events and back-to-school festivities and events.

In honor of the back-to-school season, Meadowood Mall and Bill Pearce Courtesy Honda are teaming up to help local kids in need. Kicking off on Saturday, August 17, shoppers and event attendees are invited to help to fill a Honda Odyssey with school supplies. Those interested in donating supplies are welcome to drop off donations at the vehicle, located in Center Court at Meadowood Mall, between August 17 and August 21.

Pedro Martinez, superintendent of the Washoe County School District, will also be at the event Saturday, August 17 to help kickoff the donation campaign and to accept a $500 check from Meadowood Mall on behalf of the Washoe County School District. The monetary donation along with the donated school supplies will go where they are needed most, to the schools and children in our community. Those who participate will receive swag bags from Meadowood Mall containing a Meadowood Mall bag, notebook and pen set, bottled water, chocolates and in-store coupons.

Here’s a schedule of all the fun that is happening:

• Free eye screenings at Visionworks
• Craft-making activities and games, including decorating notebooks and bookmarks for school
