The HOPEsudbury Backpack Drive is underway for 2024. The local nonprofit has identified significant needs for over 50 children in the community and is seeking contributions in the form of backpacks, lunch boxes and school supplies to support them in their return to school next month.
HOPEsudbury has set up an Amazon Wish List that allows donors to make purchases online and have them shipped directly toe HOPEsudbury. You can visit the wishlist and contribute to the drive at this link.
The drive runs through August 2, which is next Friday.
In addition to the Backpack Drive, HOPEsudbury runs several other community programs throughout the year. Over $1,000,000 has been distributed to Sudbury residents since the organization was started in 2002. In 2023, HOPEsudbury supported 77 different households with financial assistance and provided over $70,000 in bill payment support to Sudbury residents.
According to their annual report, over 70 backpacks full of school supplies were delivered to 44 families in 2023. Also in 2023, the organization launched HOPE Meals, a program that delivers a week of meals to residents experiencing grief, illness or other hardships.
