Thank you for visiting the Greater Augusta Back to School Programs website. We are a volunteer non-profit group of citizens in the Greater Augusta, Maine area that annually provides school supplies for local children in need. The need grows larger each year - won't you join us in helping our children get their best start in school each year? Last year, we distributed 1000 backpacks and we keep Growing! Check out our Operation Warm and Literacy Campaigns for 2022!
