Back2School Campaign
In 2015, ICNA Relief distributed 20,000 backpacks and supplies to children in 16 states. We'd like to give 1000 children in the Chicago area a headstart, in 2016. Like last year, we hope to distribute our backpacks to local schools in need; among refugee children; at the DuPage County Back to School Fair for underserved children; and to homeless children hosted by our partner organization, Bridge Communities, a Glen Ellyn, IL, based non-profit.
Deadline for donations: Aug 10th.
