BAC Couriers, an Online shopping company that also facilitates a mailbox address service, is hosting its annual Back-to-School Drive to acquire school supplies’ donations for the following orphanages and children’s homes in Guyana: Joshua House Children Center, St. Ann’s Orphanage, The Red Cross Society Convalescent Home, Bless the Children Home and Shaheed Boys & Girls Orphanage.In an effort to encourage the cycle of giving, the company is also rewarding all donors with FREE shipping of up to five pounds for any online purchase made. The list of school items needed include backpacks (new or lightly used), school shoes, pens, pencils, notebooks, sharpeners, erasers, geometry sets, white socks, crayons, play dough, lunch bags, glue, scotch tape, file folders, paint sets, colouring books, puzzles, and copy paper.

The Courier says that the best part of this donation drive, besides the free shipping, is that the company will also come to the donor’s location and pick up the items for free.

BAC Courier’s Back-to-School donation drive ends on August 15, and the company is appealing to donors to be sure to add a few of these items to their own back-to-school list when they are out and about shopping.

For more information, or to find out how you can have your donated items picked up, call BAC Courier on 233-6350 or 233-6340. You can also visit the courier’s website at www.shipbac.com, or find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/shipbac.
