With the help of State Farm and the Engelwood Police Department, new backpacks filled with school supplies are handed out at the annual Back to School Parade in the Engelwood Neighborhood in Chicago.

The children in this neighborhood are from low income households and would not go to school with the proper school supplies if we did not help them.

In 2002 and 2003 we were able to provide for 400 children.
