It is an annual event for J. Rettenmaier USA LP, On Purpose Branding and David Rice Group – coming together to support the needs filled by the Schoolcraft Friday Pack Program.

The program replenishes the increasing void for struggling families with after-school edibles and supplies. The donations requested are individually packed or single-serve snacks and personal care items for children’s easy use. These items are cleverly and discreetly stuffed into a child’s backpack on Fridays for availability after school and over the weekend.

This program is well known to J. Rettenmaier USA employees as the company has been participating for 20 years and contributed $5,000 along with many collected snacks and personal care items. In addition, On Purpose Branding and David Rice Group partnered in the effort, contributing large amounts of food items and snacks. This trio of companies is proud to support the local school district.
