School Supplies Program
Each year, MOM runs a School Backpack/Supplies Program that provides school-aged children and teens with items that they will need to be successful in the upcoming year. Through the dedicated efforts of donors who supply the items and volunteers who assemble the packs, over 700 children will receive a backpack filled with a robust collection of the supplies they need, customized by the grade in which they are entering.
One or two new members are needed to join our Schools Supplies Program Committee to help plan this important event for MOM's school age clients. You will be asked to complete 1 or 2 specific tasks, and attend a monthly meeting (daytime) in June, July and August, and assist during the week of the backpack distribution to clients (daytime) in August.
