Flossmoor Brothers Collect Backpacks for Kids in Need

Three Flossmoor boys took it upon themselves to host a backpack drive for local kids in need.

A trio of philanthropic Flossmoor brothers recently decided to make a difference in the lives of kids in need of a little extra help this back to school season.

Caleb, 11 and his brothers 9-year-old Ian and 6-year-old Noah recently held a backpack drive for less well-to-do children. The event was a huge success, as the boys surpassed their initial goal of 50 backpacks with a grand total of 52 collected.

The boys will be donating the backpacks to Serena Hills Elementary School where they'll be distributed to kids in need.
