Back to School
We’re midway through August which means teachers, children, and families are getting ready for another school year! Our partners here at SHARE Detroit are also gearing up to host back-to-school events and are putting out calls for community members to shop their wish lists to help them provide much needed school supplies to children in need. Providing students with classroom essentials first and foremost eases the financial strain of back-to-school shopping on families.
