The Rashi School and JFS of Metrowest Hold Build-a-Backpack Event
Nearly 100 people attended the 11th Annual Build-a-Backpack event, sponsored by The Rashi School and Jewish Family Services of Metrowest
The popular fundraiser brought together Greater Boston students, faculty, parents, and friends. Families and students donated over 300 new backpacks to area children in-need. Each backpack was filled with essential back-to-school supplies.
The Rashi School faculty, students and alumni were on-hand to donate their time to a day of service. Build-a-Backpack brings families together to provide children with the opportunity to learn how they can make a difference and support their community.
