Plans are coming together for the 2nd annual Back to School Shop event. Volunteers are being recruited, funds are being raised, and lots and lots of school clothes and supplies are being purchased so that each child will be able to find just what they are looking for at the event’s “pop-up” store on July 31st.
The Back to School Shop, a new, all volunteer community event was launched on Sunday, August 9, at Davenport Ridge Elementary School in Stamford, CT. One hundred and twenty-five children from Stamford Public elementary schools were able to “shop” free of charge for brand new back-to-school outfits and school supplies in a department store-like setting, created just for them. Over 150 trained volunteers helped to make the event a resounding success.
