If you do not mind sharing or sending me info privately, can I ask if you had the backpacks and supplies donated or if you supplied them? If they were donated may I ask by whom? The reason that I am asking is we have had a very generous donor for the last 4 years. However, the past couple of times that we have asked about the donations (they donate other things besides school supplies) that they have been providing they seemed very hesitant and once even accused me of asking for more than usual when I had actually asked for about 10 less than the previous time. I am not trying to complain because they have done a lot for our residents, but if they do not have enough or do not wish to donate to us anymore then I would like to find someone else that can. Our residents love the Back to School Bash we throw every year. This is our most popular event and everyone that comes usually walks away with something. We have gift cards donated. We buy the backpacks to put the school supplies in. It is expensive for a parent. Especially if they have more than one child. We want to help if we can.
