Stuff the Bus

Susan Finn, Neighbor

SOWMA currently distributes over 1,000 backpacks annually to our students in need, kindergarten through grade 12. 

Help us celebrate our birthday by doubling our goal to collect 2,000 backpacks. 

This will enable us to double the number of students we can help!
