“Supplying Our Future” Backpacks for Kids in Monroe County is a group of caring people who are working to make sure every child K-12 has the school supplies necessary to start school. In this trying economy, they know there are those who need a backpack filled with the necessary supplies for school. They do not require income information on the application.
They understand seeking assistance is not always easy; rest assured there are many caring people and agencies working together to help your family during these tough times. They will have information from many agencies that work with families available. They also have food and fun activities planned.
If your family could benefit from this program, please fill out the application and turn it in.
