Jewish Family Services: Equipped to Learn

The new school year brings excitement and opportunities for students to learn and grow. However, for many children and families in need, the lack of essential school supplies can hinder their education and dampen their enthusiasm for learning. As the back-to-school season approaches, help JFS make a difference by contributing to the Equipped to Learn – Backpack Drive, a heartwarming initiative to donate school supplies to their refugee students.
