Calling all community members and volunteers! GRACE is hosting its annual Back-To-School program to give students a stress-free start to their semester.
One way individuals can contribute to the campaign is to “Stuff The Backpack” by donating items directly to GRACE. According to a media release, GRACE is accepting items such as clothes, school supplies and backpacks until the first week of August. Donations can be dropped off at GRACE’s main office at 837 E. Walnut St. Monday through Friday. For those who aren’t interested in doing the extra shopping, GRACE is also accepting cash donations directly, with $50 covering one student’s school supplies for a whole year.
Volunteers can also get involved by signing up for GRACE’s Back To School fair, which will take place on Saturday, Aug. 5 at 121 Community Church. Volunteers will be required to tune in for training at 4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 3 via Zoom, then will help set up and break down the event the day of the drive.
