Our Back to School deliveries are underway, and each year we are reminded why we do what we do. There’s nothing quite like seeing the joy on students’ faces, hearing the stories from teachers, and receiving the pictures from our incredible delivery teams. These moments show the true impact of service and the power of hope in our community.

One moment in particular touched us deeply. While waiting for a class to come to the gym, a sweet teacher came to the door. She shared that she remembered our delivery team from when she was a little girl—and now, decades later, she is teaching the next generation of students. To see the cycle of giving continue in this way is a beautiful reminder of why we serve.

That delivery team has been faithfully serving this community for 25 years. Over the decades, countless students have benefited from their dedication, and the ripple effect of hope continues to grow. Every backpack filled, every pencil handed out, every smile shared is part of a legacy that extends far beyond the classroom.

It’s stories like these that remind us how meaningful our work is. As we continue our Back to School deliveries, we are grateful for the volunteers, teachers, and families who make it all possible—and for the blessing of seeing hope carried forward year after year.
