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 15 towns served by the Hockomock Area YMCA.

Donation bins are available at all Hockomock Area YMCA locations:

Foxboro 67 Mechanic St.
Franklin 45 Forge Hill Rd.

N Attleboro 300 Elmwood St.

We also encourage donations at our North Attleboro Branch during our Food Access Pantry Hours:

Wednesdays 12:30-2:30pm

Thursdays 7:30– 8:30am

If you would like to be a collection site or host a drive, let us know! We can provide you with a flyer and will help coordinate pick up/drop off time. Email: backpacks@hockymca.org
