Can you help some very lonely school backpacks get to school this year? They desperately need a proud and energetic child to carry them there for the school year!

This year, Thrivent Financial, in partnership with the Bessemer Chamber of Commerce, will be distributing 47 filled backpacks to children in need within our district’s elementary school 1st grade and Grades 5 and 6. Any monies left over from Adopt a Backpack will be distributed to the classrooms for needed supplies in the year ahead. We appreciate your generous support!
