Hundreds of Families Supported
Community-Powered Initiative
"This event helped us tremendously during a difficult year."
Fourteen years ago, a simple idea brought neighbors together to help local students start school with confidence. Today, rising costs continue to challenge Bronx families, and many parents must choose between school supplies and essential household expenses. Through community support, we ensure children walk into their classrooms prepared, proud, and ready to learn.
