The Pantry is currently collecting school supplies for its "Back to School Backpack" program. The purpose of the program is to assist Pantry families in acquiring the school supplies necessary for their children to return to school. The Pantry is collecting the following items: glue sticks, pens/pencils (w/erasers), pencil boxes, ruled 3-ring binders, hand sanitizer wipes, individual tissue packets, erasers (large), highlighters, 3-ring binders, rulers, folders (laminated and paper), spiral notebooks, washable markers, and marbled composition notebooks. Please be cognizant that the students being served will be between the ages of 5 to 12 years old and that the goal is to make the backpacks gender neutral for ease of distribution. If you would like to make a contribution to this program, all donations can be dropped off at the Pantry during our regular operating hours. For question please contact Pat Brophy at 508-432-6519 or pbrophy@thefamilypantry.com.
Thank you for your support!
