Cornell University Elves Summer Backpack Program comes to Geneva
The Cornell University Elves Summer Backpack Program provides new backpacks filled with school supplies for needy children in our local communities. The program was initiated in 2007 to ensure all children (K-6) attend the first day of school with a new backpack and school supplies. This was the first year that the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station Community participated in the program.  In all, 34 new backpacks were purchased, filled with school supplies, and donated to North Street School for distribution. This considerable donation illustrates the overwhelming generosity of the station community. Thank you for your donations and contribution to a successful inaugural year of the Backpack Program in Geneva!
