Wow. All we can say is wow.
Thank you so much to AkzoNobel Reading, GIANT Shillington, Utilities Employees Credit Union and Cecilia Leone (not pictured) for supporting our mission of Empowering (even the youngest) Individuals to Improve Their Lives.
With their generous donations of bookbags, pencils, notebooks and other school supplies, they are directly contributing to the educational success of our 2nd St. Learning Center students and Opportunity House Shelter youth residents. Even a donation of socks can make sure our youth are starting the school year with their best foot forward. ๐Ÿ’š
