Our Back-to-School Supply Drive has officially hit an ALL-TIME RECORD, with more than 2,000 school supply items collected — and we’re not done yet as we are working on a few more partnerships.
Today, Rotarians came together to sort through more than 2,000 school supply items that were collected!
These supplies will be distributed to students at Sheafe, Evans, and Myers Corners Elementary Schools to help local students start the school year ready to learn.
We were also thrilled to welcome Project Backpack as our guest speaker! With the incredible amount of supplies donated, along with four fully packed backpacks, we were able to make an additional donation to Project Backpack. Those supplies will be distributed to other elementary schools throughout the Wappingers Central School District!
This is what Rotary is all about — neighbors helping neighbors and making a difference in the lives of local students.
We are especially grateful to all of the businesses/organizations that served as drop-off locations - Town of Wappinger, Grinnell Library, ReStore of Habitat Dutchess, NBT Bank Poughkeepsie and Trustco Bank Fishkill. Your support made it easy for our community to give, and we truly appreciate your partnership.
A HUGE thank you to everyone who donated and helped make this our biggest Back-to-School Supply Drive ever!
