Friends of the Poor – Back to School Fundraiser

Friends of the Poor is once again doing a Back 2 School Drive to distribute free school supplies to students across Lackawanna County.

This year, we are opting for an Amazon Wishlist to accept donations. Since most public schools require clear backpacks, lunch boxes, and water bottles, these items are of priority.

As always, any and all donations are greatly appreciated.
