2010 Back To School Backpack Program
Yatooma’s Foundation For The Kids is hosting its 3rd annual Back To School Backpack Program! We invite you to partner with us in preparing each child in our program for a successful school year by providing a new backpack filled with essential school supplies. Difficult financial circumstances mean that many of our families will not have any extra in their budgets to provide this positive start for their kids. We are seeking donations for the items below. We greatly appreciate any contribution and kindly ask that all donations be returned to the Foundation Office by July 30, 2010. Thank you very much for your support!
