"Pioneer employees assembled 183 backpacks with over 4,800 items collected during the past month from the financial services company's 22 branches. These supplies were donated to schools in Rensselaer and Saratoga counties, as well as to the Capital City Rescue Mission, which distributed hundreds of backpacks to local students at its annual Backpack Giveaway Party.
'Low-income families face a challenge at the start of every school year,' said Perry Jones, executive director of Capital City Rescue Mission. 'With prices of everything going up and up, those families sure could use some help.'"
