Bring Backpack Supplies to Malden City
Hall to Benefit Housing Families
From now until August 9th, Malden City Hall will have a collection box at the entryway information booth to help Housing Families Inc. (HFI) collect new school supplies and backpacks to give to each child in its after school
program. The donated items will send students back to school in the fall prepared for a successful school year.
Through its after school program, HFI offers daily academic and emotional support to children from homeless and extremely low-income families. To help HFI ensure its students a great start to the 2013-2014 school year, please bring supplies to Malden City Hall, 200 Pleasant Street or to HFI’s main office located at 354 Cross Street, Malden by August 9th. All donations are tax deductible.
