School supplies, family resources, education, food
Backpacks For Good is an initiative of Berrien Community Foundation.
The Foundation organizes the school-readiness events, which are typically held in August. Backpacks will be filled with pencils or pens, markers, notebooks, folders, erasers and pencil bags. BCF will offer backpacks in two sizes suitable for either younger or older students, and each child will have the option to pick out the color bookbag they want! All backpacks and school supplies are free, but one bookbag will be given per child present.
Families are encouraged to bring school-aged children to the event so they can choose their backpack and visit with other community resources, too. In addition to the backpacks and school supplies, there will be free boxes of food onsite.
