Back to School project planned

By Staff | Jun 26, 2013

To the editor:

Lehigh Community Services will hold its annual registration for Back To School back packs and sneakers from Monday, June 24, to Friday, July 12. We accept children attending Lehigh Acres schools from kindergarten through the 12th grade.

We are fortunate to have wonderful sponsors who make this event possible: New Life Assembly, Christ United Methodist Church, BB&T Bank, Lehigh Acres Fire and Rescue, and many individuals who personally donate to this annual cause helping our community.

We will register 300 kindergarteners to eighth-graders, and 200 ninth- through 12th-graders.

Call (239) 369-5818 from 9-11:45 a.m. and from 1-5 p.m. for more information.

Lehigh Community Services (LCS) has been doing its Back To School annual project for over a decade making a difference in our community.

There are several locations available in Lee County for back packs. The largest annual back pack distributions are at the Multi-cultural/ Harborside in Fort Myers, Big Brothers Big Sisters, many churches and individual businesses. Call 211 at the United Way for more information.
