SCHOOL SUPPLIES ARE ALWAYS NEEDED - CAN YOU HELP? YES YOU CAN!!!

I LOVED THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!    (not thrilled with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc but . . . )

Can you remember arriving for the first day of the school year, sitting down at your desk with your brand new pencils, crayons, notepads and a fancy new backpack, (book bag in my case cuz I'm old) and feeling proud to have entered the next grade fully equipped to succeed?

Each September should present every child with a fresh start to a successful school year. Unfortunately, there are many families who simply can’t afford the steep cost of purchasing a long list of required school supplies for their children.

 “In the last two years, we have seen the demand increase for our backpack program almost twofold,” says Major Ken Ritson, Director of The Salvation Army Family Services.
