Each program in the United States was asked to fill a new backpack with school supplies.

"We're eager to help the people in need," said Charles Black Lance, director of TRiO programs at CLC, as he stuffed bags with new pens, sharpened pencils, erasers, notebooks with lined white paper, toothbrushes, tubes of toothpaste, healthy snacks, calculators, key chains, staplers, tape dispensers and more.
