On Tuesday, August 5, 2014, HMMA Team Members donated 400 backpacks and totes full of school supplies for Montgomery Public School System students. The backpacks and supplies will help Montgomery students start the new school year with many of the tools they’ll need for a year of learning.

Over three weeks, HMMA Team Members purchased more than $8,000 worth of school supplies for this year’s School Supply Drive. Team Members picked up backpacks purchased by HMMA to fill them with a recommended list of supplies.

The filled backpacks were then presented to representatives from the Montgomery Public School System and Partners in Education who will coordinate the distribution of the school supplies to local students.

This was HMMA’s third Pack-A-Backpack campaign. Each backpack contained: copy paper; wide rule notebook paper; two-pocket folders with center prongs; No. 2 pencils; crayons; colored pencils or washable markers; glue; a pencil bag or pouch; facial tissue and hand sanitizer.
