Elgin instructor organizes backpack drive for local families
Columbia College-Elgin
October 25, 2013
The project provided 1,800 backpacks to families this year! Storey is the interim director of student life at the campus, which recently celebrated 15 years partnering with Elgin Community College.
The college has led this initiative for the past four years, partnering with local nonprofits to host a school supply drive to fill the backpacks. At a Back to School Supply Fair, children and families receive new backpacks filled with supplies, such as folders, notebooks, pens, scissors, glue sticks and crayons.
