Help area children start the school year off with the supplies they need to succeed. With your help, the Y is dedicated to providing backpacks filled with new supplies to families residing in each of the 16 towns served by the Hockomock Area YMCA.

A donation of $50 allows our Y to purchase a fully stocked backpack. See below for sponsorship levels.

Donation bins are available at all Hockomock Area YMCA locations:

Foxboro 67 Mechanic St.
Franklin 45 Forge Hill Rd.
Mansfield 40 Balcom St.
N Attleboro 300 Elmwood St.
We also encourage donations at our Lenore's Pantry & Market, located at 451 Elm St. in North Attleboro MA.
