BACK TO SCHOOL EVENTS

The HEART Program is bringing school supplies directly to students at their own schools. Dates and times below:

Instead of hosting one large back-to-school event, we will be at each school's Back-to-School Open House or supply drop-off.

School supplies will be available for students attending that school who need assistance getting ready for the new school year. Families can stop by the HEART Program table at their child's school to receive basic school supplies, including backpacks, notebooks, folders, pencils, crayons, glue, and other classroom essentials.

By bringing supplies directly to each school, we hope to make it easier for families to access support and ensure students have the basics they need to start the school year ready to learn.
