The Renaissance Foundation’s five volunteers who attended Project Backpack on August 5, 2015, spent their day filling backpacks with school supplies of all kinds – notebooks, folders, crayons, glue, pencils, rulers, etc.
Project Backpack, currently in its sixth year, is a community-based initiative, hosted by Elgin Community College and benefitting students in need. Generous donations of school supplies and time from local retailers and volunteers helped make the 2015 Project Backpack distribution process on August 8, 2015, a huge success again this year!
