Good Afternoon!!! Today BYV put together hygiene kits for our middle and school students! We’re looking forward to giving out these at upcoming events through this week until school start! Our goal for giving these hygiene bags out is to be able to engage with students and build healthy connections with them and the schools! We will be doing a once a month refill to be sure students needs are still able to be met. Starting tomorrow night at the 1st movie night of the district! If you work or know any teachers or colleagues in Oakland County please connect with us so we can show up to your school next! See yall on tour!
