Back to School Shop, Inc., an all-volunteer community organization, held its seventh annual event on Sunday, July 25 at Davenport Ridge Elementary School in Stamford. Nearly 450 children in need from the Stamford public elementary schools were preregistered by their school social workers to participate in the event. Families drove through the parking lot at appointed times to take delivery of backpacks filled with school supplies, toiletries, hand knit hats, gloves, underwear, socks, a sweatshirt, and a book. In addition, the parents received a $100 gift card for each child to enable them to purchase needed clothing for school.
