County College of Morris (CCM) will partner again with Table of Hope to host the annual Backpack Giveaway on its Randolph campus to help Morris County families gear up for the upcoming school year.
This community-driven event will take place on Aug. 15 from 1-2:30 p.m. in Parking Lot 1 at CCM, 214 Center Grove Road, Randolph. Families must be Morris County residents and are encouraged to pre-register at https://tableofhopenj.org/backpack-giveaway-registration.
To ensure a safe and smooth distribution process, participants must remain in their vehicles. Walk-ups are not permitted, and backpacks will be distributed to Morris County families in need on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.
Now in its fifth year, this much-anticipated distribution event, which includes backpacks and school supplies, is part of CCM’s ongoing partnership with Table of Hope and other dedicated community organizations. In addition to the backpack distribution, CCM also collaborates with Table of Hope each November to host a Thanksgiving food distribution event, which provides holiday meals to more than 600 families.
“Partnering with Table of Hope for this annual event reflects our commitment to changing lives and strengthening communities,” said Dr. Anthony J. Iacono, president of CCM. “As part of our mission, CCM embraces the opportunity to bring the community together for the benefit of others. We take pride in supporting local families, helping ensure children have the tools and resources they need to succeed in school. We are grateful to the many partners involved in this event, from those who provide the supplies to those who help it run smoothly.”
This meaningful initiative is made possible by the efforts of many, including Table of Hope, local and state leaders, the Morris County Sheriff’s Office, the Morris County Prosecutor’s Office, Alstede Farms, CCM staff and faculty, numerous corporate partners and other sponsors, as well as a tremendous team of volunteers.
