Group of Pathways Retirement Residence seniors fill new backpacks with back to school supplies for kids in need, United Way to distribute them
A group of seniors at Pathways Retirement Residence, with years of experience in caring for their own children and grandchildren, recently enjoyed filling new backpacks with back-to-school supplies for local children in need.
The Pathways project cost approximately $1,500 and each backpack contained approximately $50 of supplies. The United Way of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma District - the organization having purchased and packed 78 backpacks of its own - collected the 25 backpacks at Pathways on Friday and will distribute them to needy children in time for classes in September.
“It’s been good to be able to do something like this. It’s nice to be able to help,” said Iris Chalmers.
