Backpacks for Set for Success

The Set for Success school supplies drive is alive and going right now. You'll find yellow boxes at locations around the city including the library and City Hall.
For those who are not, perhaps, going out and stocking up on $1 packages of pens and such, or want to give more substantially, Brendan Melican has set up the following challenge:

I found a distributor who will sell 250 backpacks to me for just over $1,300. Think of this as a group buy, where for what amounts to pocket change we can make sure 250 Worcester Public School children will have one less thing to worry about when they start school this year. If you have a moment, please donate whatever you can fit in your budget. No donation is too small, every bit helps.

I know that we are a generous community that can make this happen! Please donate and share widely.
