Teach Learn and Care (TLC)
The TLC Backpack Committee of the Duxbury Interfaith Council is
preparing to fill and distribute backpacks and school supplies to our less
fortunate neighbors in Duxbury. Our goal is to provide new backpacks and new
school supplies to the students of families facing financial hardships in grades
K-12. Your generous donation will help our future generation be equipped to
learn and enjoy school.
The cost of a backpack with school supplies varies by grade but on average is
$100. We are hoping to raise $6,000 in order to meet our needs. We are grateful
for your continued support, as are the 60 recipient students and their families.
The Duxbury Interfaith Council is accepting new school supplies and new
backpacks.
You may drop off your donations at the Duxbury Senior Center, 10
Mayflower Street through August 31. Drop off times are Mon, Wed, Thurs: 8 am - 4 pm,
Tuesdays: 8 am – 8 pm and Fridays: 8 am – noon. For more information please
contact us at 781-934-8388.
