This summer marks the 10th year that Concord’s Community Services will be running a Backpack Drive to distribute backpacks and school supplies to low-income Concord families struggling to pay rent and feed their children. Donations of NEW backpacks and school supplies for students of any age would be greatly appreciated! Donation boxes are located at Town Hall, 55 Church Street in West Concord, the Beede Center, the Main Library, or the Concord-Carlisle Community Chest. Donations are accepted until August 23rd. Questions? Contact Bonny Wilbur, Community Services Coordinator, at bwilbur@concordma.gov or tel. 978-318-3034.
