🎒 New School Year, New Possibilities 🎒
There's nothing quite like the magic of a fresh backpack, new notebooks, and sharpened pencils. But for many children across Palm Beach County, that simple joy remains uncertain.
This summer, we're changing that.
The 14th Annual School Supply Drive launches Monday, July 13 and runs through Monday, August 3. When students arrive equipped with proper supplies, they enter the classroom with confidence. When families don't have to choose between school supplies and groceries, children can focus on learning and growing.
