It's Time for Back (Pack) to School




Long Beach Rescue Mission and Kingdom Causes need help with their annual backpack drive. Each year, they provide more than 3,000 backpacks filled with school supplies to area schools. Tax deductible donations can be made by check mailed to LBRM or by credit card through the website. New backpacks and supplies can be dropped of at Samaritan House at 1335 Pacific Avenue on or before August 10. Supplies needed are college-ruled paper, one-inch 3-ring binders, boxes of number 2 pencils, red pens, large erasers, and pencil boxes. Volunteers are also needed to assemble and deliver the backpacks from August 10 to 28. You can find out more by calling 591-1292 extension 110 or email volunteer@LBRM.org.
