PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. Student Needs Assistance Program (SNAP) is a program established by Coastal Community Action Program (CCAP) to help low income K-12 students in Grays Harbor and Pacific counties obtain back-to-school supplies.

This year, SNAP will send 400 packages of school supplies to Pacific County, including items such as paper, pencils, pens, crayons, glue, folders, etc. Pack2School, a project through Peninsula Baptist Church, has also raised money for items such as backpacks, scissors and more.

School supply distribution will be from 1 to 5 p.m. Monday, Aug. 26 at CCAPs Ilwaco Community Building, 152 First Ave., Ilwaco, Wash., and from 1 to 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27 at a Community Fair and Back to School Carnival held at Peninsula Baptist Church, 23802 Pacific Hwy., Ocean Park, Wash.

Parents or guardians may pick up school supplies without their children present. Children who come to pick up supplies must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

The Community Fair and Back-to-School Carnival is a free event and will include fun activities for the whole family, such as a dunk tank, face painting, clowns, games, free food such as hot dogs, pop corn and cotton candy, and more.
