Back-to-School Backpack Drive

For struggling families, school supplies can be difficult to access. Home Start, a local nonprofit organization dedicated to child abuse prevention and providing evidence-based family strengthening services, is collecting donations throughout the month of July for its annual Back-to-School Backpack Drive. Home Start will be collecting a variety of supplies, including backpacks, pens, pencils, binders, reusable water bottles, and more. 

 Donated supplies can be dropped off at Home Start’s main location on Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. The supplies will then be distributed to students throughout the first week of August. The donations will benefit students from kindergarten through 12th grade to better prepare them for the school year. 

The organization is also accepting school supply donations through their AmazonSmile Wishlist. All shopping through AmazonSmile supports Home Start. The website donates a portion of every purchase price to the organization.
