Back to School Shop, Inc., a local all-volunteer non-profit organization held its ninth annual event on Sunday, July 30, at Davenport Ridge Elementary School in Stamford. Nearly 370 children from Stamford Elementary Schools, identified and pre-registered by their school social workers, were able to “shop” free of charge for brand new back-to-school clothing and school supplies in a pop-up shop created just for them.
Remember the excitement of shopping for back to school supplies? Well, imagine the reactions of over 400 children from low-income families who get to select their own brand new school items in a one day pop-up shop where everything is free!
