Annual Backpack & School Supplies Drive
Thank you for all of your hard work and generous donations! Because of you, we were able to exceed our goal of collecting and filling over 1,000 backpacks for Enfield kids.
On 'Backpack Day!' 2018' over 600 backpacks were distributed to kids. The remaining backpacks will be distributed to all Enfield Public Schools, ERfC administrative office, ECDC, FRC, Youth Services, Saint Patrick's, Saint Bernard's and Saint Martha's for children whose families were not able to attend on Friday, August 17th.
HELP ENFIELD KIDS START THE SCHOOL YEAR READY TO LEARN!
ERfC's annual ‘Backpack and School Supply Drive’ begins July 8 through August 15. The drive is a collaborative community effort to make school supplies available to Enfield children in grades K-12 so they are ready to succeed on the first day of school.
New backpacks and supplies will be available for Enfield families who need assistance getting kids ready for school. Backpacks will be distributed on August 16th from 2-4PM at St. Patrick's Hall (64 Pearl Street, Enfield CT).
