ReStore sponsoring backpack drive for 2015-16 school year

Posted by Mary Pannabecke... on Thursday, May 21, 2015

ReStore Community Center and community members are sponsoring a backpack drive to help children and families receive school supplies and backpacks for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year.

School supplies are increasing in price each year, and can become a financial burden on families. ReStore would love to help families by providing supplies and the backpacks they need. We are looking for families, groups or individuals that would like to help by “adopting” a backpack and filling it with the specific supplies needed in our area.
