Friday was a great day at our Back-to-School Kickoff! We had the chance to welcome local families, connect them with community resources, and help get kids ready for the upcoming school year.

A special thank you to Jackson County Adult Learning Center, Walmart Ripley - Academy Dr, Roane-Jackson Technical Center, and WV Health Right Free Clinic / WVRX for all of their help putting this event together. We also want to give a huge thank you to all the community organizations and local partners who joined us as resource table participants. Your willingness to be there, share information, answer questions, and connect families with services in our community was an important part of the day!!

Thank you to everyone who came out, participated, volunteered, donated, and helped spread the word. We appreciate each of you for being part of Friday's event!
