GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) â A Green Bay organization is Making A Difference for children in need.
Monday was the first day of the Service Leagueâs 29th annual back-to-school store.
More than 3,000 backpacks were filled with necessary school supplies, as well new socks and underwear.
Due to the pandemic, children cannot shop in person this year, but thatâs not stopping the back to school store. The backpacks are being dispersed around the county to kids in need.
âIt means a lot to us that we can take that worry off the kidsâ shoulders,â said Anna Burnette, marketing chair for the back-to-school store. âThey can walk in to school with their head held high. They have everything they need when the teacher asks them for get your pencil or your notebook. They have it, and they donât have to think about it.â
