“Last year, our school supplies drive was a huge success,” said Amy Stark, marketing manager for CBM, in a statement. “As a result of the generous donations made by CBM staff, clients, and others in the community who supported the project, we were able to present the HOCP with over $1,800 worth of school supplies in the form of 30 stuffed backpacks. We expect this year’s school supplies to drive to be even more successful.”
