When summer ends, school begins … and Summit County Children Services wants to ensure that every child in its care will begin school this fall prepared with the important, brand new school supplies that will help them be successful in the coming year.
Each summer, more than 1,000 children in the care of Summit County Children Services are given backpacks filled with school supplies – all donated. However, because of limitations on the agency’s use of funds for this type of purchase, the agency depends on the generosity of the community’s organizations and individual donors in order to provide school supplies to the children we serve.
