Sponsors needed for annual backpack drive

Sponsor a backpack (or two or three) and help a Northborough student begin next school year positively.

The Northborough Helping Hands Assoc. Inc. (NHHA) is gearing up for its 14th annual Backpack Drive, which will continue to benefit students in need in the Northborough public schools, grades K-12, for the 2021-2022 school year.

Last year, 120 backpacks were donated with the generous support of businesses, organizations and individuals. Each year the need continues and expenses increase. The projected fundraising goal is $4,000. Each new backpack is accompanied by grade appropriate school supplies. Donation will be accepted until Monday, May 31.

Sponsor an elementary school backpack for a $35 donation or a middle school/high school backpack for a $50 donation.
Donors will receive recognition in NHHA’s post project press releases and on its website and Facebook page.

NHHA is a long time nonprofit, service oriented organization in Northborough.

For your convenience, online donations can be made or mailed to NHHA, Attn: Backpack Drive, P.O. Box 383, Northborough, MA 01532.
