Why Are We Giving Away School Supplies?
Arborway Community Church is a church that wants the best for our Jamaica Plain and he surrounding neighborhoods. We want to see children and families flourish! We also know that this time of year can be expensive and difficult for a lot of families. We are partnering with Boston's parents to get kids ready for the school year.
The Backpack
Good news! This year we really upgraded the backpacks! Each backpack that you reserve is a 17 inch dome zipper bag. They are made out of a durable canvas vinyl material. We have several different styles and you will be able to choose the backpack that works best for your student. Show up early for more choices.
