Citizens Bank Donates 400 Backpacks to ACLAMO

Volunteers from Citizens Bank made a special donation to ACLAMO Family Centers in Norristown on Monday, as part of their Ninth-Annual Gear for Grades initiative. 

Representatives from ACLAMO received 400 new backpacks filled with school supplies, courtesy of the program. The bags and supplies were then distributed to students and their families.

In addition to the donation to ACLAMO, Citizens Bank will donate another 1,600 backpacks throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, thanks to a $30,000 donation from the Citizens Bank Foundation. Per a press release, the goal of the program is to ensure that each student starts the year with the supplies necessary to achieve success.
