ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL YEAR OF FILLING BACKPACKS FOR LOCAL CHIDREN

Over 365 school-aged children started school this fall with new backpacks, filled with all of the supplies needed to begin the school year, thanks to the funding and efforts of the members of Altrusa International of DFW, Inc.  This project has been one of Altrusa DFW’s signature projects for more than twenty years. 

From children supported by the Center for Transforming Lives who are just beginning their Kindergarten year to middle-school and high-schoolers supported by Stepping Stone, children in need in the Keller Alternative School, Keller and Southlake Carroll ISD systems and others throughout the DFW, there were lots of beaming smiles that first day of school because the students carried new, stuffed backpacks to school. 

If you, your team, church group, friends, co-workers or family members would like to participate or support this worthy effort let us know here we welcome all hands.
