Backpack Donations

In anticipation of the upcoming school year the Utica Shelby Twp Kiwanis Club donates over 100 backpacks filled with school supplies to students in need. This is a popular and impactful project because the club members gather to ensure children start the year off without worrying about whether they have the tools they need to succeed. Backpacks are filled with a dozen pencils, folders, a notebook, crayons, markers, and glue sticks.

Once the backpacks are filled, the club members pack up their cars to drop them off at local elementary schools for distribution.

Throughout the year the club stays in touch with the schools so we may continue to support the students as needed.
