I think the drive is for all area schools including Lady Lake and Fruitland Park and Leesburg.

Many churches are backing the backpack program too. I know our village does and the Colored Pencil Painters Guild does too.

We are a bunch of involved and caring folks here.

The guidance counselor for Lady Lake school came to our village meeting to thank us for our support of the backpack program. We were very surprised to learn that homeless children go to that school. She is a great educator and facilitator for good for her kids. It was most inspiring.
