Going Giving Back to School
August 17, 2023
• The Needham Community Council’s Give Back to School program helps food pantry families get the supplies they need to have a successful school year.
September is almost upon us, and with it brings all the promise and excitement of a new school year. But while our young students may be joyfully anticipating a fresh start and reconnecting with friends, the start of classes can be a source of anxiety for their parents. Back to School shopping can hit budgets quite hard between supplies and backpacks and clothing. The Needham Community Classroom may be able to help make ends meet as fall approaches.
