Back to School Campaign

A new school year is already around the corner and at the IRC we are collecting supplies for children starting American school for the first time. The first day of school can be scary for a refugee child but with a good backpack full of supplies could make that day much better.

*1.5 Inch 3 ring binders *1 subject notebooks *3 subject notebooks *5 subject notebooks
