Pack the Back Pack

We've kicked off the 9th annual Pack the Backpack challenge! We challenge a business to fill a backpack, and then they challenge another, creating a chain of generosity. All filled packs will be donated to the Albany County School District and the Boys and Girls Club of Central Wyoming to help students and teachers who need supplies.

In addition, we accept individual donations to fill even more backpacks. Drop off school and classroom supplies at 365 N. Third St. in Laramie, or at 3831 Denis Dr. and 190 S. David St. in Casper, by Monday, August 17, and we'll handle purchasing and filling the backpacks. Special requests include crayons, pencils, erasers, folders, colored pencils, dry-erase markers, tissues, hand sanitizer, and Clorox wipes. Any other helpful and fun items for students and teachers are also greatly appreciated. Every contribution makes a difference!
