ECHO School Backpack Program is Underway
Each year ECHO provides new backpacks filled with grade-appropriate school supplies for more than 1000 local students whose families are struggling financially. To donate go to echo-inc.org, click on “Donate Goods,” and choose the School Supplies page a link to an Amazon wishlist where you can choose supplies that Amazon will deliver directly, or drop off items at Adat Reyim, and they will be delivered to ECHO for you. Please note that we now have plenty of white glue and wide-rule notebooks. The backpacks are distributed throughout August, so timely donations are crucial. We use only new items in our backpacks to give every child the fresh start that they deserve.
