Every year at the Human Needs Food Pantry, we provide each client student with a backpack
and the opportunity to select school supplies to fill it for the first day of school. This year we
are trying to do the same in a socially distant way.
Here's what's different this year:
The backpacks will be prepackaged with appropriate supplies for Pre-school, Elementary,
Middle and High school students.
They will be distributed outside during our regular food pickup hours
.
We have adjusted the contents to include pandemic related items
.
To serve all our current clients we will need about twice as many backpacks as in the past!
