Getting the supplies you need to send your kids back-to-school can get expensive. That’s why I’ve compiled a list of local organizations who are offering help to those who need it. Please check with with each organization before you make the trip to ensure the back-to-school giveaways are still happening. And share this information with your community in case there’s someone who could benefit.
