Backpack for Bookworms was created by the staff at the Self Help Food Bank when low-income families expressed a difficulty when purchasing school supplies for the upcoming school year. The recent economic downturn has effected every industry including schools. With parents of children going to school watching every cent, it’s important to ensure kids still have the opportunities they deserve.

Backpack for Bookworms ensures that families will be able to receive a backpack, school supplies and other essential school items such as a pair of running shoes for gym class.
