Backpack Drive for IOCP, Aug. 9-10
The KC Auxiliary is sponsoring a backpack drive to help support IOCP’s Back-To-School collection this summer. We need your help!
We will be collecting backpacks the weekend of Aug. 9-10. Look for the table in the Gathering Space for drop off. Here are the specifics on the types of backpacks needed by IOCP:
- All backpacks must be new/unused
- Backpacks should be solid colors or color patterns. Please, no backpacks with characters
- Backpacks should be able to fit a three ring binder, have multiple pockets and a space to hold a water bottle
A few recommendations from IOCP include from Target: JanSport Big Student 17.5” backpack, or the Swissgear Laptop 18” backpack. From Amazon: JanSport Superbreak One backpack and JanSport Right Pack Backpack with padded 15” laptop sleeve. Lots of backpacks arriving in stores now. Remember though, no character packs and supplies not needed, just the backpack!
Thanks in advance for your continued generosity! Let’s help IOCP have the most successful Back-to-School yet!
