The Butler County Cooperative Extension Office is organizing a holiday backpack drive to support those impacted from the tornados in our area. We are asking if anyone in our community would like to contribute to our efforts. Items can be dropped off at the Butler County Extension Office today until 6pm and tomorrow until 10 am. Items will be delivered on Thursday to children in shelters. Many of these children have lost everything and we are hoping to brighten their holidays this year.
These are the suggestion of items to be contributed-
