School Supply Drive

Our team understands how fast kids go through school supplies. With this in mind, we decided to lend a helping and replenish school supplies for teachers and students. Our staff donated 544 school supplies for the Community Schools Initiative of United Way at Dorothy Height Elementary School! We had the opportunity to allow teachers to take what they needed from our donation bin. The entire experience is fulfilling and heartwarming. We can’t wait to continue to give to the deserving teachers and children in our community!
