The Issaquah Food and Clothing Bank is gearing up to prepare for the upcoming school year and desperately needs school supplies and backpacks to help local families.

As many families worry about providing basic necessities, items like backpacks and other supplies for school may fall to the background.

The bank is asking for donations of backpacks and any items on a required school supply list. Info: 425-392-4123, or issaquahfoodbank.org/donations
