BLCI Wish List

Back to School supplies cost an average of $75-$150 per student. Incoming college freshman face even higher costs as students prepare to live away from home for the first time and have the added expense of setting up a dorm room. For families already facing economic hardship, this is an added challenge and without the correct supplies, students start the school year already being behind
