Reader Doug S. pointed out this article, which talks about a back-to-school-stuff collection effort being coordinated by Mountain Health & Community Services and the Mountain Empire Community Center. They're looking for anything the kids might need in their backpacks (including the backpack!) when they head back to school in September. The effort is aimed at helping lower income folks out in the backcountry, the numbers of whom have gone up in the recession.
If you'd like to help, call Carol Lewis at (619) 445-6200, ext. 165 or Shannon Reed at (619) 478-2384. Or you can drop off donations at the Mountain Empire Community Center at 976 Sheridan Road in Campo...
