Backpack Drive

Each summer Concord’s Community Services distributes backpacks filled with school supplies to children from families in town. Over 50 children from modest and low income families typically signed up to receive a brand new backpack and school supplies for the school year. Donations of new and unused backpacks and school supplies are greatly appreciated from community members!

To donate a backpack and/or school supplies, please contact Bonny Wilbur, Community Services Coordinator, at bwilbur@concordma.gov or 978-318-3034, or use the drop boxes around town.

We are pleased to have awarded 26 grants this year to 24 organizations totaling $564,923!
