To the Editor:

The Hilltowns Community Resource Center would like to thank all the sponsors and community members that did such an outstanding job supporting our back-to-school project.

Because of your help, we were able to send 126 kids back to school prepared to learn with school supplies, sneakers, and backpacks. We truly appreciate your continued support in our mission.
