Backpack Drive for Homeless Students

About this event


Please help support the children of Solutions for Change through our backpack and school supplies drive. We’ll be collecting the following:

  • New, sturdy child and teen size backpacks
  • Notebooks
  • Notebook paper
  • Binders
  • Dividers
  • Folders
  • Calculators
  • Pencils
  • Pens
  • Erasers

    Your generous donations are most appreciated and help lighten the load for families working hard to overcome homelessness and build a better future. Having a new backpack and school supplies will help these amazing kids start school with confidence, joy and everything they need to thrive.

    Please give your backpacks and school supplies to Jo-Ann Smith, Francie Downie, Christie Snow, Janine Greenhill, Pam Shetler, or Mary Beth Garber when you see them at an activity or drop them in their front porch collection boxes. (Please make sure she will be home to collect your donation.)  We will also do the shopping for you if you wish to donate cash. 

    Thank you so very much!
