Back to school ACHIEVEabilitys annual school supply drive returns

Philadelphia, PALocal News

ACHIEVEability, a nonprofit organization in West Philadelphia, is rallying the community for its annual school supply drive as the new school year approaches. The drive, which runs until August 8, encourages local residents to donate school supplies to support students in need. Many families in the area struggle financially, making it difficult to acquire essential educational materials. By participating, community members can help ensure that students are equipped for success in their academic pursuits. The organization emphasizes that local engagement is vital for fostering educational equity and opportunity.

Last year, the drive collected thousands of supplies, showcasing the community's commitment to supporting its youth. Contributions can include items like notebooks, writing instruments, and backpacks. This initiative not only aids students but also strengthens community bonds.
