REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. — The Rehoboth Beach Police Department and Westminster Presbyterian Church have teamed up to launch the Pack the Backpack campaign. The initiative aims to gather school supplies for students at Georgetown Elementary School for the 2025–2026 school year. Running from June 16 through July 31, the campaign invites residents to donate essential items. Donations can be dropped off in the lobby of the Rehoboth Beach Police Department.
The supply list includes full-size backpacks measuring at least 15 inches high, traditional (non-mechanical) pencils, headphones (not earbuds), composition books, glue sticks, scissors, black fine-tip dry erase markers, Clorox wipes, crayons, folders, and index cards. Other community partners supporting the campaign include Georgetown Presbyterian Church, Coolspring Presbyterian Church, and the Philanthropic Educational Organization. This effort aims to ensure students start the school year prepared with necessary materials to support their learning.
