I was recently chosen to participate in the Paying it Forward Gutzy Gear Event. What is Gutzy Gear, you ask? Gutzy Gear is a great, new way to express yourself by customizing your backpack, sports duffel, messenger bag, and more! Gutzies are cool looking removable patches!
I was given $25 dollars, from Gutzy Gear, to get as many back to school products as I could, stuff them in a backpack and then donate. I started off by contacting my parish to see if they have had requests for school products. They did have a family that was in need, so off to the store I went. I decided to get 2 of most products since it would be going to a family with more than one child.
