Backpack for Kids drive at Sterling Bank

With school starting at the end of the month, Sterling Bank is starting the annual Backpack for Kids drive. The drive lasts for two weeks, beginning Friday, Aug. 3, and continuing until Friday, Aug. 17.

The mid-August end to the drive allows Sterling Bank employees assemble the items and deliver to the students, prior to the start of school on Monday, Aug. 27.

Sterling Bank provides the backpacks for the drive and asks for community support to fill the bags with school supplies. The backpacks are then delivered to the K-5 grade classes in Ritzville for the school year.
