HACA Collecting Supplies for Back-2-School Boost
Requests for backpacks and supplies are rolling into the HACA Food Pantry for the 14th annual distribution. Last year over 160 bags were packed for children in pre-school through grade 6.
Sign-up sheets are available at the HACA Food Pantry at 26 John Street, as well as all HACA churches, Hoosick Falls Central School and CEO-Hoosick Falls Family Resource Center. Requests will be filled as supplies are received to be picked up at the Pantry in order that families can plan for any special back to school needs.
Supplies can be left at any HACA Church, the Food Pantry Cart in Tops Market, or Tri-State Area Federal Credit Union. Suggested items include: erasers, glue bottles, index cards, highlighters, markers, notebooks, composition books, loose leaf paper, 3 ring binders, Kleenex, pencils, rulers and pencil boxes.
A donation of $25 provides a fully stocked, age appropriate backpack. Monetary contributions are appreciated as they enable us to purchase backpacks and other specifically needed items. Contributions may be sent to HACA, PO Box #1, Hoosick Falls, NY 12090.
