Rashi School and JFS of Metrowest Hold Build-a-Backpack Event
Nearly 100 people attended the 11th Annual Build-a-Backpack event, sponsored by The Rashi School and Jewish Family Services of Metrowest
The popular Build-a-Backpack fundraiser brought together Greater Boston students, faculty, parents, and friends. Families and students donated over 300 new backpacks to area children in-need. Each backpack was filled with essential back-to-school supplies.
The Rashi School faculty, students and alumni were on-hand to donate their time to a day of service. Build-a-Backpack brings families together to provide children with the opportunity to learn how they can make a difference and support their community.
