Turning Point is now accepting names for school age children in need of backpacks and back to school supplies.

Those interested can call the backpack hotline at 508-317-8958 and leave a message with a phone number where you can be reached.

Backpack pick up day will be Aug. 28 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.  Participants are asked to bring their children so they can select their age appropriate supplies.

Turning Point is a nonprofit organization that helps the homeless, and the near homeless, stay off the streets by providing money for rent, heating bills, medical care, car payments and beyond.
