Project Backpack is underway! The backpack project delivers fully stocked backpacks to local children in HABcore programs for the coming school year. HABcore provides homeless families with housing, meals, and nurturing support. HABCORE now has 300 residents living across Monmouth and Ocean counties, including 60 families with more than 100 children. Residents represent a formerly homeless population of very-low-income families. A new backpack with all the necessary supplies is a small investment in a child that allows them start the year with confidence and focus on their school work.
This year the number of children in Monmouth County in HABcore is more than double the number last year. Please donate so that we may support as many as possible. A fully stuffed backpack cost ~$30.
Cash and Check donations can be placed in the backpacks at the rear of the church or in the Parish house, or mailed to the Church P.O. Box address. Online donations can be made by clicking the link below, and choosing the Project Backpack Fund.
