This summer, sipping boba can do more than cool you down — it can help a local student start the school year strong.
From July 1st through August 31st, Bloom & Boba in Chatsworth, CA is teaming up with Assistance League Los Angeles to host a Back-to-School Drive collecting school supplies for unhoused and foster youth across Los Angeles.
Why This Drive Matters
For thousands of LA students, a new backpack or a fresh set of notebooks isn’t a given. Unhoused and foster youth often start the school year without the basics their classmates take for granted. Something as simple as a pack of pencils can help a kid walk into class feeling prepared and confident — and that’s a difference our community can make together.
What to Donate
We’re accepting new school supplies, including:
- Backpacks
- Notebooks, binders, and paper
- Pencils, pens, and crayons
- Markers, highlighters, and glue sticks
- Rulers, scissors, and pencil cases
Where to Drop Off
Bring your donations to Bloom & Boba in Chatsworth, CA any time during business hours before August 31st. Look for the donation box inside the shop — drop off your supplies, then treat yourself to a fresh milk tea or matcha latte while you’re here. You’ve earned it.
