We want to take a moment to thank our amazing sponsors for supporting the 8th Annual Back-to-School Supply Drive! Because of their generosity, we were able to fill 115 backpacks for Ellsworth students with financial need.

Each year, thanks to the kindness of our community, parents, and local businesses, we’re able to provide supplies to students who need a little extra support. This program wouldn’t be possible without you. 🙌

A special shoutout to our High School Leaders and Service Learning Coordinator for organizing this event each year-you help make a difference for so many students. 💛
