Backpack Donations Needed!

As you clean out your closets this spring, please consider donating your gently used backpacks to Camp Jenny. Camp Jenny is a camp for inner-city Atlanta elementary school students held each year over Memorial Day weekend. The students come to camp free of charge, having earned their seat on the bus by attending school, behaving appropriately, and putting forth their best effort in all of their school work. They are provided backpacks by the camp in order to have something in which to pack their belongings.

Our goal is to collect 150 backpacks. Donation boxes will be in the school lobby near the security desk until the end of April. If you have any questions about Camp Jenny, please feel free to contact 6th grader, Jordan Limor, or his mom, Judy, at [email protected]. Thanks!
