ReStore Community Center and community members are sponsoring a backpack drive to help children and families receive school supplies and backpacks for the upcoming 2015-2016 school year.

We are looking for families, groups or individuals that would like to help by “adopting” a backpack and filling it with the specific supplies needed in our area.
