As students head back to school, we're proud to support local families by helping provide the supplies they need for a successful year! 📚✏️🎒

This week, Eastern Eight Community Development Corporation had the privilege of donating school supplies and reusable water bottles to the Kingsport Housing & Redevelopment Authority and families in Greeneville.

We believe every child deserves to start the school year with confidence, and we're grateful for the opportunity to partner with our communities to make a difference. Wishing all students, teachers, and school staff a safe, successful, and exciting school year!

Together, we're building stronger communities. 💚💙

We also want to thank our Board of Directors, staff, elected officials, community leaders, contractors, supporters, and everyone who took time out of their day to celebrate with us. Your encouragement and partnership continue to strengthen our mission and the communities we serve.

We still have disaster assistance available for eligible homeowners affected by Hurricane Helene. To learn more or apply, visit e8cdc.org or call our office at (423)232-5097.
