School Supply Drive

Back to School Uniform & Supply Drive

Each year, SHC holds a Back-to-School Play Date in collaboration with neighborhood Prince George's County Public Schools and the management of apartment complexes where many of our families live. This is a joyous opportunity for the community to gather before the start of the school year including parents, students, teachers, and school administrators.

In preparation for the 2019 school year, SHC distributed more than 220 backpacks with school supplies and close to 400 uniform items to young school children during our Riverdale and Landover Back-to-School Playdates. The events were organized in partnership with Templeton Elementary School, William Paca Elementary School and OnSide , with the sponsorship, support and assistance of many in the SHC community.

THANK YOU TO ALL THE 2019 SPONSORS DONORS AND VOLUNTEERS!
