Our Thirteenth Annual Backpack School Supply program is now underway, offering backpacks, lunch boxes, water bottles, and other essential items to HK students who need a little extra support. Families can sign up now through August 11th to receive supplies before the school year begins.

    Each participating student will receive a backpack filled with essential school supplies, including a lunch box, water bottle, and other necessary items to help them start the school year prepared and excited for the new year.

    Community members looking to support the program can contribute by donating items through HKYFS School Supply Wish List on Amazon, or by dropping off items in our collection boxes from July 8th through August 13th at any of the following locations: Nutmeg Pharmacy, Liberty Bank, Haddam Town Hall, Killingworth Pharmacy, Killingworth True Value and Killingworth Town Hall.
