The group provided students with backpacks filled with necessary items like pens, pencils, and calculators. According to Hillary Bridges, assistant executive director of Kids Crossing, it’s essential to support their families and meet the needs of the kids.
Tara Wehner, a foster parent with Kids Crossing, said that having brand new school supplies and backpacks helps the kids feel confident and prepared for school.
