- At Grungo Law, one of our most cherished annual traditions is the Backpacks for Kids drive, where our team comes together to purchase, assemble, and donate backpacks filled with school supplies for local students. This initiative is not only a fun and rewarding experience for our team, but it also makes a difference in the lives of children as they prepare to return to school in September. A Record-Breaking Year for Giving This year, we are proud to have made our largest donation yet to the Maple Shade School District. With 54 backpacks customized with grade-specific supplies, we aimed to support as many students as possible, especially in light of the growing challenges faced by the community. Maple Shade is currently grappling with a significant increase in homelessness, with over 100 students throughout the district struggling with the instability and hardships that come with it. Our backpack drive is a way to help alleviate some of the burdens these families face. We believe that by providing essential school supplies, we can help ensure that these children start the school year on the right foot, equipped and ready to learn, without the added stress of not having the tools they need to succeed., Grungo Law Gives Back to Maple Shade School District, Community, Charity, Education, 2024
