Backpack-To-School

Thanks to a $500 grant from the Orleans Rotary Club and a $500 donation from a private donor - and thanks to a substantial discount on our order from L.L. Bean - Interfaith Council's Back Pack Program is up and running. With assistance from generous donors, we fill backpacks with school supplies to give the children in our Adopt-A-Family program a head start on a successful school year. If you'd like to help, we're looking for the following school supplies:

Basic Supplies:

  • Four 3-ring binders (1" - 2"), one each red, yellow, green and blue
  • White lined paper
  • Pencils
  • Pens
  • Markers and colored pencils
  • Calculator
  • Ruler
  • Metric ruler
  • Protractor
  • Highlighters

Extras

:
  • Dictionary
  • Thesaurus
  • Three-hole punch
  • Plastic pouch for pens and pencils

Something Special:

  • A gift certificate to the Mall or a store for a back-to-school outfit
