My Nonprofit Reviews

Over the years, I’ve watched the number of children served grow tremendously. Without this program there would be hundreds of children starting school without the supplies they need. One thing that’s makes this program a little different is the organizers encourage each child to choose their own backpack from a great selection purchased with proceeds from fundraising. The children are then able to visit the displays of supplies and choose from items they need for their age group. This is a fun event with volunteers from across the community. There is even a large contingent of students from the local college who bring an enthusiastic energy that sets a great example for the youngsters picking out supplies to start a new school year. Every child leaves with a backpack, supplies, and a smile!
