TRAVERSE CITY – The Traverse Bay Sunrise Rotary Club gathered last Tuesday for its 11th annual ‘stuffing night’ to load school supplies into 1,400 backpacks for distribution to deserving students. With this year’s distribution the total number of backpacks that have been donated since program inception will exceed 14,000.
“So much volunteer time goes into this project,” said club president Sean Skarshaug. “And it’s worth every minute when you see the kids as they look through the pile of colorful backpacks to choose just the right one.
“It’s our way of letting the kids know we believe in them, we’re proud of them, and we want to support their education.”
