With back to school around the corner, The Shelter’s Next Generation Committee wanted give back by “Filling-a-Pack.” The Shelter’s “Give Back – Fill-a-Pack back to school drive helps to ensure that the youngest survivors of domestic violence have the supplies they need throughout the school year.
The committee adopted a family with an 11-year-old and eight-year-old and purchased school supplies, personal care items, clothing and shoes. These items will be delivered to the family before school starts.
