 Well, as summer comes to an end, school is just around the corner. The Salvation Army and Brainerd is helping ease the cost of school supplies for families with their annual back-to-school backpack program. All you need to receive a backpack is a photo ID, mail proving you are a Crow and County resident, and proof of the students, such as a birth certificate or social security card. Along with the backpack distribution, the Salvation Army hosts a community resource fair, providing information on support assistance and resources available in the area. So we collect up donated supplies and donated funds to purchase backpacks and school supplies. A little bit of both goes into the program and grants. And we served, I think, about 500 last year. Each year it varies depending on, you know, which schools maybe have other sponsors. The Brainerd Salvation Army is holding another backpack distribution and community resource fair tomorrow from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.
