My Project

In the past, we've had some generous donors donate some backpacks to our students in need, but we have run through our supply and are in desperate need to restock so that we can set up our students in need for a successful school year. Plain, black, sturdy backpacks will help us serve all of our students. We have a supply of notebooks and school supplies on hand that we will use to fill each backpack so that students also have basic supplies to get started as well. No student should feel like supplies are in the way of their academic success. Please help me help our students!
