Donations Sought For Back To School Program

TINLEY PARK, IL -- Together We Cope has begun its annual Back to School program that provides new backpacks and school supplies to south suburban children in need and donations are sought to help the group with the effort.

An email blast asks possible donors to support the effort with a $30 donation, which would equip one child with a new backpack and box of school supplies.

A new effort this year also helps to provide those in need with new socks. Donations of new children's socks in all sizes, colors and for both genders are being sought.

Donations can be sent to Linda Lopez, director of development, at Together We Cope, 17728 So. Oak Park Avenue, Tinley Park, IL 60477.
