As another school year begins, we’re grateful to once again partner with West Valley Food Pantry for their annual Backpack Giveaway.

Each year, thanks to generous financial contributions and school supply donations, WVFP helps local students head back to school with the supplies they need to succeed. Our Patronesses and Ticktockers loved being part of the day, helping set up and hand out backpacks to children and families throughout our community.

Wishing all of the students a successful and exciting school year! 🎒📚💙
