Palatine Township’s Back To School Supplies Campaign
Helping at-need children for 34 years. Donations are needed!
Palatine Township’s Back to School Supplies Campaign (formerly known as Apple Tree) has served at-need children in Palatine Township for 34 years! The success of this program is due to the overwhelming support of our generous donors.
Local at-need children attending kindergarten through 12th grade at D15 and D211 schools receive backpacks filled with donated school supplies and are prepared and ready to learn and succeed.
We appreciate your support and are asking for donations of school supplies.
