Pack It All In

CROSS helps kids prepare for school.

Approximately 3,630 pounds of school supplies were donated through CROSS Services last fall to help kids in Maple Grove and neighboring communities get ready for their return to school. Those 644 backpacks, each loaded with approximately $35 worth of school supplies, are still being used each day. CROSS would welcome area businesses to become drop-off locations for next year’s drive. Interested? Contact CROSS executive director Elizabeth Johnson at 763.425.1050 or learn more on their website.
