The Rockland County District Attorney’s Office teamed up with People to People to help local children prepare for the upcoming school year, donating a collection of backpacks and school supplies contributed by members of the office.

The donations included backpacks, notebooks, pencils, glue sticks and other classroom essentials aimed at ensuring children have the supplies they need as they return to school.

The initiative is intended to ease back-to-school costs for families while helping students begin the new academic year prepared for the classroom.
