Life West aids at-risk kids

For the eighth straight year, the students, staff and faculty of Life Chiropractic College West worked together collecting new backpacks for local at-risk children who were returning to school.

The annual BACKpack Drive was held in conjunction with the Family Emergency Shelter Coalition's (FESCO, a local homeless shelter) School Supply Drive. Life West collected the majority of needed backpacks for the kids, as well as young adults who are college bound, while other local organizations and businesses donated additional backpacks and school supplies to stuff the packs with pencils, binders, paper, crayons, rulers, etc. About 130 children received the backpacks.
