Villagers, we are in the midst of some communities of economically disadvantaged youth. 80% of children in many areas surrounding us get free/reduced lunches. These kids are being asked to bring a backpack full of supplies to class August 6.

Many may not be able to afford the supplies, much less a backpack. Our opportunity to donate is time-limited but we still have a few days to deliver items to the REGIONAL rec center in the county of our choice.

Next: Kindermats

Erasers, cap and bar
