Bucks County chapter of Pennsylvania Association of School Retirees
(PASR), has developed a community service project with Bucks
First Federal Credit Union and Family Service Association of
Bucks County to clothe and prepare needy children throughout
the county for the first day of school. Coming to school prepared
and in a new outfit will help each child’s self esteem.
The back to school season is often overlooked as a particularly
difficult time for struggling families.
PASR members have worked with children throughout their individual
careers in education and have the chance to continue their commitment.
Each year there is hope that this program will continue to grow by
helping more and more children.
Family Service Association of Bucks County provides this project
with a list identifying the needs of children which include ages,
gender, and clothing sizes.
You may make a monetary donation or sponsor a child by purchasing
needed school supplies. You may team up with friends or other family
members to purchase items needed for a child. Some suggested items
are listed below.
- School clothes from underwear to sweaters
- Backpacks (rolling or carrying)
- School supplies (notebooks, lined paper, pens, pencils, rulers,
calculators, markers, crayons, scissors, glue, etc.)
- Individual Sized Toiletries
- Caps, Hats, Hair Accessories
- Anything to make the package friendly
- A note of encouragement for the coming school year
All gifts are delivered before the first day of school. Children
are served without question of race, ethnicity or religious affiliation.
If you are interested in participating you may:
Backpack date and drop off locations will be provided in the information
packet sent to you with your sponsored child’s information.
Monetary donations can be made online or at either branch location and are greatly appreciated!
