WEST CHESTER, PA (July 16, 2025) – To help the clients of The Crime Victims Center of Chester County (CVC) start the school year with the supplies they need, the office of state Senator Carolyn Comitta is collecting backpacks for their annual Back to School Drive.
“As our students begin to gather supplies for the upcoming school year, we are making sure that the children in families served by the Crime Victims Center have all the supplies they need for a successful year of learning,” said Comitta, who serves on the Senate Education Committee. “If you are able, please consider supporting the good work of the CVC by donating a backpack to a student in our community.”
New, unused backpack donations will be accepted in the collection box on the first floor of Comitta’s West Chester district office at 17 E. Gay Street. The final day for donations is Friday, August 1st.
