After a successful program last year, Operation Backpack is on again.
In the lead-up to first term 2021 the community partnership between Lismore Shopping Square and St Vincent de Paul Society is again set to help families with primary aged children to receive essential back-to-school supplies through the generosity of shoppers.
This is the third such collaboration between the complex and Vinnies, but this year there will be a few changes because of the need for COVID-19 precautions.
Shoppers are being asked to make financial donations for the purchase of school supplies such as stationery, uniforms and backpacks from Lismore Shopping Square retailers.
