The Tioga County Open Door Mission would like to remind the community that the Backpacks for Kids event is open and ongoing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Open Door Mission will be serving kids in need, targeting grades kindergarten through five. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kids in families with financial trouble or under the poverty line are able to receive a backpack full of supplies for each child meeting these requirements. If you are in need of our help and are in Waverly, Tioga Center, or Owego-Apalachin school Districts, please sign up at The Open Door Mission in Owego or Red Door in Waverly before Aug. 5 and 6. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get a backpack, be sure to sign up by Aug. 5 for Owego, and Aug. 6 for Waverly. Items are on a first-come-first-serve basis and are limited, so signing up as soon as possible is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Owego backpack distribution dates are Aug. 19, 20 and 21, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the Waverly distribution of backpacks is Aug. 23, from 3 to 7 p.m. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
