Making a Difference: HopeLink 9th Annual Henderson Back 2 School Celebration
Soon enough, children across the valley will be getting saved by the bell. But before the school year commences, there’s work to be done for children who don’t have access to new supplies for the new year. HopeLink, a Henderson nonprofit organization, is teaming up with other like-minded organizations and community members to help provide much needed “back to school” essentials to children from low-income families.
“More families than ever are struggling to get school supplies and clothing for their children,” said Daniele Dreitzer, executive director of HopeLink. “Together, we can help these deserving kids start the school year right with necessitites like school supplies and a new outfit for the first day of school.”
The 9th Annual Henderson Back 2 School Celebration will be held on August 21st at the Valley View Recreation Center, during which backpacks filled with school supplies and a new outfit will be presented to approximately 1000 children. While Central Christian Church supplies all the backpacks and school supplies, HopeLink matches area businesses, faith communities and individual donors with one or more children. Donors ‘adopt’ a child and shop for complete outfits so that every child has at least one new outfit to start the school year with a smile.
