Children’s Fund collects backpacks and school supplies for local youth

Children’s Fund is inviting the community to help provide new backpacks full of school supplies for San Bernardino County foster and other vulnerable youth now through Friday, July 13th.

“Children’s Fund is committed to giving our county’s vulnerable children support, opportunity and hope,” says Betty Chambers, Director of Programs at Children’s Fund. “Providing a new backpack and school supplies to foster and other vulnerable youth gives them the confidence and encouragement that they are no different from their classmates. They are worth your investment.”

There are three ways to participate in this year’s Backpack & School Supplies Drive. First, you may bring your backpack and school supply donations to Children’s Fund’s office located at 348 W. Hospitality Lane #110, in San Bernardino.

Lastly, donations by credit card can be made securely online at www.childrensfund.org.
