This is the 10th 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!” said HOPEsudbury board member Carole Ann Baer.
