Back-to-school event to help Greenfield kids with supplies

In preparation for the new school year, The Philippine Center will host Free Backpack Day in August to help Greenfield kids and their parents with school supplies.

The Philippine Center is a cultural and civic center founded by Filipino Americans to serve the Filipino and American community in Milwaukee and the surrounding area. The Free Backpack Day event is a part of the center’s Children Literacy Program, which provides children with Books and encourages a love of reading.

Free Backpack Day will provide all children ages 3 to 12 with a free backpack filled with back-to-school supplies. The children will also receive a free book, one free clothing item, and one free pass to the Milwaukee Art Museum. The first 100 children will also get a special snack pack. In addition, parents will receive a free child ID kit.

Organizers recommend that parents register their child beforehand to ensure they get a backpack as supplies are limited. To do so, parents can email mprill@philippinecenter.com with their child’s name and age.

The Free Backpack Day event is scheduled for Sunday, August 1, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. It will take place at 3717 West Howard Avenue, Greenfield.

Organizers of school-related events often utilize flyer printing to get the word about event specifics to parents and similar interested individuals.
