Help Newtown Families in Need While Back-to-School Shopping

Newtown’s Social Services Department needs your help to send children back to school with supplies necessary for learning. By purchasing a backpack stuffed with notebooks, pens, pencils, glue sticks and other supplies, you will be helping a local student focus on learning.

Target and Wal-Mart gift cards are also needed for families to purchase clothing and shoes for their children.
