Bridgewater Office Collection Helps School Supplies Drive Reach Goal
Allstate Insurance collected supplies for the Commission on the Status of Women's annual 'Project First Class.'
The Bridgewater Allstate Insurance Co. office helped collect school supplies to donate to the Somerset County Commission on the Status of Women for the commission’s annual “Project First Class.”
The commission recently delivered hundreds of school supplies to the Food Bank Network of Somerset County as part of the annual project. Children of families served by the Food Bank Network are benefiting from the donations again this year.
Backpacks, notebooks, pens, pencils, markers, glue, paper and binders were among the many items donated by individuals, companies and organizations.
