We began distributing school supplies to families this afternoon! Our hallways were filled with squeals of delight as children eagerly picked out their new backpacks. This joy was made possible thanks to our incredible supporters, including Greater Twin Cities United Way. They donated 72 backpacks stuffed with school supplies as part of their Action Day, which focuses on providing kids in the Twin Cities with the resources they need to succeed in school! We are so grateful to everyone who has participated in our school supply drive thus far. Thanks to our community's generosity, kids at People Serving People will have the tools they need to thrive in the classroom!
