On July 25, we held our annual back to school outreach. Backpacks and school supplies were provided for 580 low-income children living in the Harlem Heights neighborhood.
“Our goal is to ensure that every child in Harlem Heights has the necessary supplies to succeed in school,” said Kathryn Kelly, president and CEO of The Heights Foundation. “The poverty rate for children in Harlem Heights is more than twice the county average. Parents are out of work due to the COVID-19 crisis and cannot provide all the things their student will need. We want to send our students back to school, ready to learn.”
Thank you to the businesses, organizations, communities and individuals that supported our outreach! We could not be more grateful!
