CRMC planning for its 5th fill-the-backpack campaign
Coshocton Regional Medical Center announced the fifth annual fill-the-backpack campaign for the school year of 2025-2026.
The program provides a backpack and 10 core school supplies to pre-k through sixth grade students at all area schools including River View, Coshocton, Ridgewood, Newcomerstown, Coshocton Christian, Head Start, Hopewell, Montessori of Coshocton, and Sacred Heart.
“ Last year we were able to provide over 3,500 backpacks filled with school supplies to every elementary age student in Coshocton County and in Newcomerstown” said Kaylee Andrews, director of business development and marketing.“ Our goal is to decrease the financial burden for parents and educators in our community. These are supplies that parents don’ t have to purchase from their school supply list”
This year each backpack will include a 24 count of Crayola crayons, 12-pack of # 2 pencils, scissors, glue stick, 12 count of Crayola colored pencils, 12-pack of pencil erasers, dry erase marker, zipper pencil pouch, tissues, and over the ear headphones. Backpacks are distributed to each school district and given to students at open house or the first day of school.
Fill the backpack is looking to partner with community organizations to make this year’ s project a success again. Last year’ s platinum sponsors of the program included the Coshocton Elks, Coshocton County Juvenile Court, Kiwanis of Coshocton, and Buckeye Brine. Gold sponsors last year included Wendys- BASEC Management Inc., McWane Ductile, RJ Wright & Sons, COTC, and Aultman Cardiovascular Consultants. Silver sponsors in 2024 included the Coshocton County Board of DD, Dominos Pizza, Dan Duren Prudential, MFM, H & R Block, Park National Bank, Coshocton McDonalds, Willowbrook Consulting, Claxon Communications, and Addy Funeral Home.
Donations can be made payable to: Coshocton Regional Medical Center, Attention Kaylee Andrews, 1460 Orange St., Coshocton, OH 43812.
