Do-Care, a program of Do-All, Inc, is asking for emergency community support to fill the need for residents of Bay County.
 

Bay City, Michigan - The Do-Care Family Enrichment Center's Community ETC: Education Treasure Chest enters its 8th year with a record number of requests for 2014. With over 1300 applicants, Do-Care, a program of Do-All, Inc, is asking for emergency community support to fill the need for residents of Bay County.

Carrie Strohkirch, Do-Care Program Coordinator for the backpack campaign, stated that requests are still coming in for backpacks and the program is short by approximately 400 backpacks to fill all of the requests.

"We have had an amazing outpouring of support for the program this year, but with the overwhelming number of requests we are struggling to fill the need." The average cost of each backpack, which is filled with school supplies such as pencils, pens, paper, markers, crayons and erasers, is approximately $20 per bag.

Distribution of the backpacks is planned for August 26 & 27, 2014, so the need is imminent. Backpacks and school supplies can still be dropped off at any Do-All location, including the Cat's Meow in Essexville and the Cat's Meow - Downtown Bay City.

Financial donations can be mailed to Do-All, Inc, 1400 S. Lincoln St, Essexville, MI 48732. Please make sure to put Community ETC or Backpack Program in the memo.

All inquiries can be directed to Carrie Strohkirch, Do-Care Program Coordinator, by phone at 989-894-0764 or email at cstrohkirch@doallinc.org
