Greetings!
We welcome the shirt off your back School clothes needed for all ages. We are not accepting winter clothing and coats. Jeans, sweatshirts and long sleeve cotton shirts are the biggest hits. Used casual shoes also very welcome 
Big thanks to Sathappan Arumugam and friends of the UML India Development and Relief Fund Club (pic from drive left). They had a large clothing and shoe drive and filled a van with great stuff for kids to wear back to school. 
The first 1,000 Backpacks have gone out. Huge thanks to Ashley Toland for her tremendous donation of 253 packs today! What an amazing accomplishment for a freshman in college. We sure appreciate your hard work. Thanks to the many supporters in Tyngsborono that supported Ashley by donating supplies or packs. Drop off locations for school supplies listed on left School starts next week Aug 30 so if you have any donations of clothing, school supplies or packs we would love to have them. Coupons wanted: We are now collecting unwanted coupons and newspapers. Thanks to a talented volunteer and maven coupon queen, we can use your unwanted coupons to buy more with less. We will be collecting all year long so start a box at the office and drop off or mail them when you get a pile. Let us do the shopping. We can buy new backpacks for less than $3. Thanks to Michelle Lee and Donna Cook we are only paying pennies for the supplies but funding is at an all time low in August. click for website link Donna Hunnewell, Executive Director
