It’s that time of year, for kids to head back to their schools once again.

Not every family can afford all they need for the year, and so the Salvation Army and STAPLES have held their annual Back to School Drive to help provide backpacks and school supplies for children in need.

This year, they raised $2,153.38 to provide supplies and backpacks for over 40 children.
