DSP launches “Operation Backpack” Project

It may only be the middle of July, but Delaware State Police want to get the word out about helping out those in need by donating supplies for the upcoming school year. That’s why they’re launching “Operation Backpack”.

Troopers are asking folks to donate things such as backpacks, No. 2 pencils, spiral notebooks, washable Crayola crayons box of 24, large pink erasers, pencil cases, colored pencils, washable markers, loose leaf wide ruled paper, highlighters, composition books, 3 ring binders, plastic folders with pockets, tissue boxes, and hand sanitizer.

Each Troop across the state of Delaware will have a box in their lobby for supplies to be dropped off. Donations will be collected from July 20th to August 10th.
