The Homeless Prevention Council in Orleans is asking for help from the community to support the 23 Backpack to School Program.
The organization hopes to provide around 400 curriculum-ready packs of school supplies for families-in-need on the Lower and Outer Cape.
School supplies can range from 100-dollars-per-child for kindergarteners to around 250-dollars per high school student, putting a strain on families struggling to make ends meet.
Donations of money and supplies are being accepted until August 18.
