It feels like summer just started! But it’s not too early to be thinking about Back to School. Fairfield Social Services is already collecting gift cards and donations to help Fairfield’s students get ready for a strong start to the new school year.
"Last year, our Fairfield neighbors - individuals, businesses, faith-based and community organizations - helped more than 130 Fairfield students with gift cards to purchase supplies needed to start the school year prepared and ready to learn," said Julie DeMarco, Director of Human and Social Services. "Each year, the number of students needing assistance increases."
If you would like to help a Fairfield student, please consider mailing or dropping off a gift card to Amazon, Walmart or Target - anywhere families may shop for their loved ones for the Back to School. Cash donations to purchase gift cards are also helpful. Fairfield Social Services is located in the Bigelow Center for Senior Activities, 100 Mona Terrace.
