Help Us Empower Local Kids! We are thrilled to be hosting this 100% FREE Back-To-School event designed to provide local children with everything they need to start the school year with confidence, excitement, and a smile. Here&rsquo;s how it works: Each child will receive their official school supply list and get to personally pick out their favorite backpack from a wide selection. Once they&rsquo;ve chosen their backpack, they&rsquo;ll be invited to &ldquo;shop&rdquo; for all of the essential school supplies they need&mdash;free of charge. From pencils and notebooks to crayons and folders, every child will leave fully stocked and ready to succeed. But that&rsquo;s not all&mdash;after &ldquo;shopping,&rdquo; the kids will enjoy a fun-filled afternoon complete with a free lunch, games, and activities to celebrate the upcoming school year in a joyful, supportive community setting. This event isn&rsquo;t just about supplies&mdash;it&rsquo;s about dignity, encouragement, and empowerment. We are raising funds to cover the cost of backpacks, school supplies, lunch, and event entertainment. Your support directly impacts the success and self-esteem of each child who walks through our gates. Whether through donations, sponsorship, or volunteering your time, you can help us ensure that every child starts the school year with the tools they need and the confidence they deserve.&nbsp;Interested in volunteering?!?! 📅 Date &amp; Time: Saturday, August 9th | 12:00 PM &ndash; 2:00 PM (Volunteer setup begins at 10:30 AM | Clean-up by 2:30 PM)📍 Location: ACCESS Women&rsquo;s Shelter Parking Lot West Market Street, Akron, OH Contact Nycole Kane at <a fr-original-style="" href="mailto:kanepaintingohio@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: initial; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">kanepaintingohio@gmail.com</a>&nbsp;for more info!
