They do this in my hometown (Bloomington, IL) as well. It is amazing how much stuff they get to assist the kids with their school supplies. It is so great to see these kids when they receive their school supplies, they are so proud. Have a great day. Sherri
This is a great thing that your community is doing...I wish my small town would work together to do something so great for families that cant always afford the things their kids need.
Elisha: Contact your local churches, schools and/or civic organizations to get it going! "Small towns" are often the best at getting great grassroots operations started.
