BACKPACK DRIVE - Summer may be on its way but it is the perfect time to help with the Philoptochos Operation Classroom Project. Last year with your help we were able to donate $5,500 that provided over 200 back packs and supplies to Long Beach children in need. Check your mail as you will be receiving our request for donations soon. A $35 donation will help buy and fill a backpack with supplies for a child in need and also buy books for underprivileged children in Long Beach. All proceeds from this drive are given to various Long Beach philanthropic organizations that assist families in need.
