The Back to School Book Bag Project is a program that began in 1993. The Junior League of Annapolis, with the assistance of grants and donations, acquires and assembles book bags filled with school supplies for needy children in the Anne Arundel County community to ensure they start the school year prepared. With the help of corporate and independent donations, over the past 10 years, the Annapolis Junior League has distributed almost 10,000 filled book bags! The Junior League of Annapolis is the leader in making our community a place where all children can reach their full potential.
