There were plenty of smiles and lots of excitement when some 200 children from Stamford public school were able to "shop" for free during the 2016 Back to School Shop held by an all-volunteer community organization.
Most everyone can remember the excitement of shopping for new school clothes, the squeak of new tennis shoes, and all those new shiny pencils and smooth, clean notebooks. Unfortunately, for some children in the Stamford community, their caregivers are unable to provide those items for them in order to head back to school with their heads held high.
