✅️ School-aged students by contributing to over 250 school uniform pants
✅️ 167 Student-parents with supply filled backpacks to help with their post-secondary education
✅️ Teachers, administration, and staff members who are vital to the future of our youth

Thank you to our Board Chairman Kermit Johnson, IV for coming out and serving our table & board commissioner Terra Barrow-Williams for supporting Senator and our table as well!
