About:
upplies for children in need — turning a weekend morning at Stop & Shop into a powerful act of community support.
With enthusiasm and heart, club members greeted shoppers, shared their mission, and gathered essential items like notebooks, pens, folders, and backpacks to ensure that every student starts school with the tools they need to succeed. Their efforts reflect the spirit of kindness and leadership that defines South Side’s service-driven culture.
The community responded with generosity, filling donation bins and showing strong support for the club’s mission. Thanks to these dedicated student volunteers, more local children will enter the classroom feeling confident, prepared, and uplifted.
South Side’s Backpacks Club continues to prove that small actions can create big change — and that when students lead with compassion, the entire community benefits.
