We thank everyone who donated items for our recent BACKPACK BASH COLLECTION. We received beautiful backpacks and many valuable supplies. Our items were brought to the ACAP office in Presque Isle, where they will be filled with all the needed items and returned to the Fort Kent office, ready for our students. Thank you for helping our youth get ready for a successful school year!
