What an AMAZING day of community, giving, and smiles!
BCDI-G would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who came out to our Back to the Basics School Supply Giveaway this past Saturday!
Because of the incredible support of our community, we were able to give away over 170 bags filled with school supplies, serving students from more than 40 elementary schools across the Triad area!
A special thank you to the Carolina Black Legacy Committee, The Cake Lady , and A Simple Squeeze for sponsoring and supporting this event. We are also extremely grateful to ThriveShift for donating some book bags, as well as everyone who donated additional school supplies, volunteered their time, shared our posts, and helped spread the word. It truly took a village to make this event a success!
One of the best parts of the day was seeing the smiles and excitement on the faces of our students. Not only did they leave with supplies to help them start the school year prepared, but each child also had an opportunity to receive a book to add to their personal library.
To every donor, sponsor, volunteer, staff member, community partner, family, and supporter who played a part, we say THANK YOU!
From the entire BCDI-G family, we appreciate you for helping us continue to support, encourage, and invest in our children. Hereโs to a successful 2026โ2027 school year!
