Backpacks, composition books, pens, pencils and crayons were in abundance. The supplies and six gift cards were organized into 20 backpacks and four large bags full of supplies, and distributed among the children at Youth Consultation Services Holley Center, Center for Hope and Safety, Bergen Family Center and Women's Rights Information Center.
