Delran resident Laura Kulinski is spear-heading a school supply drive for local families in need. The drive will benefit the families of Providence House.
Providence House is a local organization that is committed to providing shelter and support to homeless, abused and formerly incarcerated women and their children in a hospitable, non-violent, compassionate atmosphere.
Last year, the drive was a huge success and this year is expected to be even better. The drive will run from July 18-Sept. 8.
"I have connected with Providence House in a special way," Kulinski said. "I have seen the great things that this organization provides, at no cost to the clients. This drive is a way for me to give back to them because they have helped so many."
The most needed item is backpacks.
