Kids at the Back-to-School Bonanza gave their new backpacks a test drive.

Generous Hands and South County Community Services on August 2 joined to host the 18th Annual Back-to-School Bonanza. In addition to those non-profit organizations, Meijer’s, First Day Shoe Fund, Be SMART and the Big Read Machine all contributed to a successful day for local families. According to Sheri Louis, executive director of Generous Hands, the event was a great success due to its many donors. “We are deeply grateful for all who contributed backpacks and school supplies. Thanks to this remarkable partnership, more than 200 kids now have the essential tools to start a successful new school year,” she said.
