Backback Drive for Homeless Children

HOPEsudbury and First Parish of Sudbury are collecting backpacks and school supplies for homeless children living at Mary’s House in Waltham and for Sudbury youth.

New backpacks and new school supplies are welcomed. Notebooks, binders, paper, pencils, pens, calculators, dividers, pencil cases, book covers and other new supplies are gratefully accepted.

Starting on August 8th through August 30th donation bins will be located conveniently at First Parish of Sudbury (327 Concord Road), the Grange Hall ( 326 Concord Road),  the Sudbury Town Flynn Building ( 278 Old Sudbury Road -Route 27), the Goodnow Library, the Longfellow Club and the Longfellow Children’s Center (524 Boston Post Road in Wayland). 

From September 1-30 donation bins will be at all of the locations except Goodnow Library.

This is the tenth year HOPEsudbury and First Parish have collaborated on the annual backpack drive. “These backpacks and supplies make a tremendous difference for these children being prepared for school every day. Thank you to all who so selflessly contribute every year!” commented HOPEsudbury board member Carole Ann Baer.
