The recent hurricanes which have struck the Southern United States have left the area devastated. Many have lost family and property, and are without necessities.

Additionally, a new school year is beginning for many of the affected children. School districts in Luzerne County, Wyoming County, and the Luzerne Intermediate Unit 18 have consolidated their resources in the effort of forming a “We Got Your Back” fundraiser to assist students in Texas and Florida. Such fundraisers have popped up all around the country and are doing much to help the affected students.

For a $20.00 donation, the fundraiser will provide a “Kits for Kidz” backpack. A “Kits for Kidz” backpack includes essential school supplies such as pencils, notebooks, and folders. While in-school donations ended on September 27th, it is still possible to donate directly to the fundraiser from https://www.liu18.org/ .
