   This will be our second year and I want it to be much larger this year! We gave away 704 backpacks last year to county students. What I want from Community- local stores to be collection sites. Organizations to "compete" with backpack collections. Citizens to volunteer with collecting, stuffing backpacks. Last year the City of Fairmont joined forces and collected filled backpacks throughout the different offices, more businesses doing this would be a huge help.
