This is a great activity to do with your community/neighborhood group, employee or student group, family/friends, or on your own. If you are unable to do a backpack drive, we would be able to take bulk school supplies as well. If you’re interested in hosting a drive or have questions, please reach out to our Donations and Engagement Coordinator, Kim Hayden at kim.hayden@ppl-inc.org.
