2022 Backpack/School Supply Drive
​Kick Off! 


LARS is once again excited to host a Backpack/School Supply Drive to support kids in the fall! We need help from our generous donor community to provide for as many kids as possible. 

What is the Backpack/School Supply Drive and how does it help our clients? The Backpack/School Supply Drive allows us to provide essential items for kids to go back to school with everything they need to start the school year with confidence and supplies for success.

There are two ways to help:  


1. Many individual donors and organizations choose to host their own backpack/school supply drive and collect supplies on our behalf. We've made it easy for you to set up a Drive to collect items by creating a Toolkit with all of the information you need, including materials to print and easy helpful tips. Please access the Toolkit here!
​
2. You can purchase items directly from Amazon and have them shipped to the LARS office. All items must deliver by August 15th, 2022 at 2:00pm. 

If you have any questions, please contact Bethany Kerley, Manager of Development and Communications at bkerley@laureladvocacy.org.

Thank you for supporting this important effort to help our Laurel kids in need have the best school year yet!
