Equipped To Learn Thank You- Gearing up for a Great School Year

We're filled with immense gratitude for the overwhelming success of our 10^th Annual Equipped to Learn back-to-school program. Thanks to your incredible generosity and support, we've been able to make a significant impact on the lives of students and adult learners in our community.

This year, your contributions helped us assemble 194 backpacks across all ages, meeting the needs of 166 requests, which included 56 adult learners! The sight of these fully stocked backpacks, ready to empower individuals on their educational journeys, is truly inspiring.

In addition to the backpacks, we were able to give 86 school-aged children $50 Target gift cards. These funds are dedicated to new clothes and shoes, because we understand the profound impact that a fresh outfit can have. It helps children feel confident, comfortable, and truly prepared to embrace their new classrooms this August, significantly boosting their readiness and self-esteem.

We want to thank all of our community partners for their continued support.
