Hello Community Partner,
My name is Janice Banks and I'm the President & Founder of: Looking at the whole picture foundation which is a Nonprofit 501C3. We Connect Veterans and Returning Citizens to Community Resources.
In my ongoing commitment to supporting those in need within our community, I am reaching out to you with an appeal that is especially close to my heart. As we prepare for the upcoming school year, many families, particularly those of veterans and returning citizens—face challenges in providing basic school essentials for their children. Access to proper supplies can mean the difference between a confident start and a discouraging one for these students. We are here to serve the entire community. We will not leave anyone out that is in need ( Backpacks) of starting their school year off to a wonderful start.
This is my third year of asking for donations for Back-to-School Backpacks and School Supplies. Last year (2024) I was able to distribute over 150 backpacks’ (my goal was 100 Backpacks). This year’s goal is 200, because the need is always greater each year.
I'm looking for Clear Backpacks (whatever you can Afford within your Budget) along with school supplies (many of the schools are requesting Clear type of Backpack for safety reasons) . Whatever you can donate is greatly appreciated. My goal for this year is 200 Backpacks with school supplies.
If you would like to meet-up at an agreed location for picking up of the backpacks. Please let me know and I will be glad to meet you.
Please contact me at the telephone number and email below if you have additional questions. If prefer to ship, please contact me by email or telephone number as well.
Thank you for your continued support
Janice Banks
