The Nashua Soup Kitchen & Shelter invites you to be part of their annual “Backpacks for Back to School” event. Last year, our goal was to help 1,600 children. Because of the overwhelming support of our community, we were able to provide more than 2,000 children with new backpacks, filled with supplies and wishes for a productive and successful school year!
Please join us in collecting school supplies for kids that rely on us, including families trying to live on minimum wage, staying in shelters or coming to the Soup Kitchen for food.
For 2009, our goal is to try and match what we did in 2008!
We’ll need your help to reach our goal!
Last year, we realized this program had literally outgrown the Soup Kitchen location. We were able to find space in the Gym at the Ledge Street Elementary School. We are happy to report that our “Backpacks for Back to School” program has been invited back to partner with the Ledge Street Elementary School and everything (dropping off, sorting, stuffing & distribution) will be located in their GYM.
Our program location is: Ledge Street Elementary School Gym (If you are heading north on Rt 3, take exit 5A—Simon Street—the school will be on your left after the stop sign, after you crest the hill)
