The tenth annual Backpacks for Kids campaign has begun. This campaign is amied to benefit local families who are unable to send their children to school with necessary school supplies.  During this tougher economy, many families have become the working poor, and need help providing the necessities for their families.

To meet this growing need, the Northshore School District, the Woodinvile Chamber Education Committee and the Northshore Kiwanis are coordinating a community-wide drive to collect back-to-school supplies and backpacks.

This year's campaign will run through August 10th.  Local businesses and churches are volunteering to be collection sites, several local banks are collecting monetary donations, and civic and youth groups are volunteering to help assemble backpacks.  At the end of the campaign over 700 filled backpacks will be distributed to families in need.
