Air Pros USA Donates 120 Backpacks to Spokane’s Foster Kids

Local HVAC Company partners with non-profit Embrace Washington

Spokane, WA (August 12, 2021) – Across the country, every 2 minutes a child enters the foster care system. Unfortunately, most of them are struggling academically along with the frequent moves and school changes. To help these kids go back to school and show them that their necessities are cared for Air Pros USA donated 120 backpacks to Embrace Washington, a Spokane-based non-profit dedicated to fulfilling the needs of children in foster care.

The donation drive took place on August 11, 2021, when team Air Pros arrived at the Embrace Washington office with a truck full of backpacks. Both teams got together to fill the backpacks with stationery and school supplies to be distributed to the foster kids for their new school year.

Air Pros USA is a local heating, ventilation, and air conditioning service company and is proud to serve the community. This donation will provide 120 children with new backpacks that they can use during the year for books and school supplies that will be instrumental in their academic growth and development.

“Every child should have access to the supplies and tools they need to succeed in school,” said Anthony Perera, founder of Air Pros USA. “We at Air Pros feel it is our responsibility to support nonprofits like Embrace Washington, that are going to great lengths to serve foster kids and their families. We take pride in being just as dedicated to serving our customers as we are about supporting our local community.”

Embrace Washington is committed to providing care and support to the children in foster care along with their families. They do this by raising awareness of vulnerable children’s needs, identifying how to meet those needs, and by connecting individuals and organizations with a heart to serve the foster care community.

“We are thankful for Air Pros USA’s donation and dedication to the community and its less privileged children,” said Executive Director at Embrace Washington, Scott Ferguson. “With the donation of these backpacks, Air Pros USA is helping foster kids get back to school prepared and confident.”

Embrace Washington welcomes donations from individuals as well as businesses.
