Backpack Project: Another successful year!

Thanks to the generosity of local businesses, organizations and individuals along with the hard work of our volunteers and staff we were able to send almost 500 children in Brown County off to school with backpacks and the supplies they need to start the school year off right.

This was our biggest year yet.  We would like to thank everyone who helped make the Backpack Project such a great success this year.
