Here is a unique opportunity to help some disadvantaged children: The Center for Family Services (CFS) “Operation Backpack” is a community – wide initiative that provides support at the start of the school year to disadvantaged children in southern NJ. Donate new backpacks filled with school supplies for students ages 3 – 18 and impact the life of a child in need.
Saint Matthew will collect backpacks filled with school supplies through Sunday, August 10 (CFS actual deadline is August 15 at various sites in southern NJ).
Center For Family Services is a nonprofit human services agency with over 90 years of experience serving youth and families in southern New Jersey. We provide a comprehensive continuum of care dedicated to changing the odds for children and families through prevention, intervention, and education.
