Last year we distributed 1,500 backpacks and this year our
goal is 2,500. We hope the Community will help out with this project so
that every child in need will get the right start for the school year
with a backpack of school supplies and a positive attitude for the
2008-2009 school year. A list of school supplies broken down by grade
is below.
