Backpacks For Middle School
| The Windsor Chamber of Commerce and First Town Downtown, with the support of Bill Selig Jewelers, will be collecting backpacks for middle school students in Windsor. You can donate a backpack alone, a backpack with all the needed items, or a monetary donation and we will purchase the backpacks and supplies. The cost of the backpack with a majority of the items listed below is about $55. You can pick them up at at Ocean State Job Lot or Target right here in Windsor. Please drop off your check or backpacks at Bill Selig Jewelers (161 Broad Street - see billseligjewelers.com for hours), the Windsor Chamber office (261 Broad Street from 9am-12pm or 1-3pm) or you can bring them to the concert on the green on August 22nd.
