Andy Foundation’s Annual Backpack Drive Off to Good Start

Donations may be dropped off at the Andy Foundation's High Top Shop at 671 Franklin Avenue.

The Andy Foundation’s Annual Backpack Drive is off to a fantastic start. We want to thank all of our generous supporters for coming to our first ever The Andy Foundation Takes Over… event.

You can still help us provide backpacks for at risk children in neighboring communities. While shopping for your own child, please consider purchasing some extra supplies for children in need. Help us help them get off to a good start this school year.

Donations may be dropped off at the Andy Foundation’s High Top Shop at 671 Franklin Avenue. Have a backpack drive at your office, for large donations call us at 248-1240 and we’ll arrange a pick up.
