Recipients must be CAC clients, and it is necessary for families to live in this area to qualify for CAC programs.
This program provides up to 1,000 students with new backpacks filled with school supplies appropriate for grade requirements, customized for most grade levels. Registration is required and supplies are limited.
The application portal opens on Monday, May 16, 2022; backpack distribution will occur in late July.
