At the beginning of August, select CDTC families will be invited to a special Backpack Giveaway where nearly 1,000 of the Center’s patients will have an opportunity to select a new backpack and fill it with school supplies.
Supplies are needed for students from pre-school through high school. The Center’s wish list consists of all the basics including backpacks for all ages, paper, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, folder and notebooks. Supplies can be donated during business hours, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and must be received by August 2, 2019.
“We do everything possible to help the families we serve thrive,” shares Dr. Ana Calderon Randazzo, executive director, CDTC. “Being ready for the classroom is important to every child’s success in life. We are so grateful to the community who helps us make preparations for the new school year a little easier for these amazing and dedicated families.”
You can help by dropping off school supplies or gift cards for the children and collecting school supplies from friends and neighbors. For more information about donating school supplies and a current wish list visit http://childrensdiagnostic.com/back-to-school/.
