School Supplies & Clothing Drive
"Back to school" is a time of year that always brings mixed feelings. Most children are sad to see the summer end, but eager to be reunited with old friends. Many of the children we serve, however, will not be seeing old friends again. For them there may be very little to anticipate when returning "back to school." We hope the promise of new school supplies and clothes will bring a smile to the faces of these youngsters.
Child Link solicits help from area corporations to donate new school supplies and clothing for our children. Donations have included Trapper Keepers, 64 boxes of crayons, Bic erasable pens and piles of ruled paper. Retailers such as the Disney store, Talbot's for Kids, Pottery Barn, Crate and Barrel, and Gifts In Kind International have generously donated the children's clothing.
School Supplies & Clothing Drive 2011–2012
We are starting the drive early this year and would really appreciate any help that our donors can provide us.
Please consider sponsoring a child by stuffing a backpack with all of the necessities a kid needs during their transition from summer to the classroom.
