Back-to-school sales are the perfect way to help with the multiple projects to create backpacks for our area's school children. Many of those same supplies are perfect for our lifebox project, and the sales right now are GREAT! Yesterday, I couldn't help but grab five boxes of Crayola markers at $1 each. All of this will be so helpful.
As for hygiene kits, those remain my worry. Will we get enough product for 135 bags not to mention spare bags? The most affordable place to buy supplies, of course, is the Dollar Tree. You can even have items shipped bulk directly to your local store. Very cool. Wal-Mart's $1 travel supply section has an excellent supply including one-load packets of Tide laundry detergent. These are low-cost items that will be so handy. One need I've feared being able to fill is some sort of children's/infant pain reliever. I also saw at Wal-Mart their house brand medicines are between $2 and $3, making that a doable goal as well.
