This is an easy project to get involved with and support.
Helping as an individual is great. If you get others to help, PRICELESS. It doesn’t take a lot of time or money. Just a little bit of care and effort can really get a kid to start the new school year off right!
The GOAL
This year, the goal is to provide backpacks to children in preparation for the upcoming school year. Let’s get our kids ready for a new year of learning, online or on location.
NOTE: When planning what to put in the backpacks, items should be appropriate for children entering K-12
