Eddie Webster+FollowDetroit kids get brand new school suppliesThe Back 2 School event in Detroit just helped 900 local students gear up for the new school year with brand new supplies and clothes—no hand-me-downs this time! What started as a small effort for 100 kids in 2014 has grown into a huge community project, thanks to a year of fundraising and hundreds of volunteers. For many families, this means their kids can pick out their own things for the first time, building confidence and excitement for school. How do you think access to new supplies impacts a child’s school experience? #Safety #Detroit #Back2School00Share
Rebecca Henderson+FollowAvondale’s Back2School Carnival returns bigger than everMark your calendars—Avondale’s biggest back-to-school tradition is back for its 20th year! Project Lifeline’s Neighborhood Back2School Carnival is set to help over 1,100 local kids get ready for class with free backpacks, school supplies, and a fun-filled day at Bengals Park. Beyond the supplies, families can check out the “Obstacle Course of Health and Safety,” where kids and parents learn from local organizations while having a blast. Plus, this year’s event features a free storehouse for household essentials and clothing. It’s all about neighbors supporting neighbors and making sure every child starts the year strong. Who’s planning to join or volunteer this year? #News #Avondale #Back2School00Share
