ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – This is the second year A Gift For Teaching is hosting the “Great Big Backpack Build” and organizers said because of the pandemic, the need will be greater than ever this coming school year.
“I think because of the economic impact on our community, so many more families are still struggling to recover from the pandemic and losing their jobs or maybe just getting back on their feet,” said A Gift For Teaching President Jane Thompson.
