Northern's 2nd Annual Back to School Community Fair Recap

Back to School Fair Highlights

Our 2nd Annual Back to School Resource Fair on August 2, 2024, was a huge success! Thanks to our amazing sponsors and donors, we distributed 250 brand-new backpacks filled with school supplies, along with lunch bags and 50 grocery bags packed with essentials like canned goods, pasta, cereal, and fresh produce. A big thank you to our dedicated staff, donors, volunteers, and community partners for making this event possible and sharing valuable resources with all who attended. Here's to a successful new school year ahead!
