This weekend, my son and I shopped and packed backpacks for families in need of a little assistance. It's such a relatively easy and wonderful way to help make a difference in a kid and family's life. For roughly $10 you can purchase a backpack like one of these and then another $5-10 at Walmart or Staples you could fill it with necessary supplies with some/all of the items (listed below). If you are able to do this, there are lots of organizations that would accept and help find families in need such as Cradles to Crayons. You can also feel free to email me if you are in Mass as I have several organizations and contacts that are in touch with families with kids who need help.
Suggestions for items to fill a backpack with:
Subject note books, binders, filler paper, pencils, erasers, pens, glue sticks, rulers, protractor, pocket dictionary, scissors, highlighters, colored markers, colored pencils, etc.
