Newton. Project Self-Sufficiency is seeking donations of new school supplies — backpacks, crayons, pencils, erasers, glue sticks, scissors, pens, spiral notebooks, and loose-leaf paper — for distribution to hundreds of children during August. Money is also welcome and may be donated at projectselfsufficiency.org/school-supplies.

Programs include family literacy education, computer training and job placement services, assistance with parenting skills, childcare, counseling and advocacy, referrals, and help with emergency basic needs.
