Backpack drive for Back to School

For Back to School we collected 26 backpacks filled with school supplies that were specific for PreK to 5th grade. They were delivered to the elementary school in Andover that has the highest rate of free or reduced lunches. The school also has the highest percentage rate of single parents in the school system. In addition to backpacks, we are working with the school counselor to provide services with volunteers from our church.  These services could involve reading to the children or having the children read to the volunteers.
