🌹🚌 Ramblin’ Rose is in full swing! 🚌🌹

We’ve officially kicked off another Ramblin’ Rose season and have already made stops in Shobonier, Herrick, Mason, and Ramsey! It’s been wonderful meeting so many families and helping students get ready for the upcoming school year.

Seeing students light up as they pick out a backpack and school supplies is exactly what Ramblin’ Rose is all about. These moments remind us why this program is so important and why we’re grateful to be able to serve our communities each summer.

A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers, donors, sponsors, and community partners who make Ramblin’ Rose possible. Your generosity is helping students across our seven-county service area head back to school prepared and confident.

🌹 Next up: Altamont! Join us next Thursday from 10:00 AM–4:00 PM as we continue bringing free school supplies and clothing to K–12 students throughout our service area. We look forward to seeing everyone there!
