Kids In Need has always been committed to helping the community when it is presented with a problem. That tradition continues with this summer’s school supplies drive. Offi cials at the Chicago Public Schools report 85% of their students come from low-income families, and many don’t have the means to supply their kids with the supplies they will need for the coming school year. KIN is doing its part to help those kids get the start they deserve by purchasing them thousands of dollars worth of pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, backpacks and clothes.
