2024/2025 School Supply Drive – The Basic Details

T&E Care held its annual School Supply Drive this year from April 16 and May 8Thanks to so many families and organizations and businesses for donating to this event so we can purchase the supplies needed for our local neighbors.  Sorting took place from June 17-20 at Beaumont ES. Thanks to all the volunteers who lent a hand to fill the bags! 

This event helps to provide the needed supplies to local families who struggle to buy them. This way we hope to level the playing field for all our neighborhood kids!  Thanks thanks thanks for helping us to make this happen!  See below for photos from sorting day.
