The Hephzibah Back-to-School Event is fast approaching and we could use your support! Did you know the cost to send a child back to school can be as high as $900 per child? Each summer we host a Back-to-School shopping event for the families we serve to provide them with everything they need for the upcoming school year. This event is a life-saver for families, helping relieve the financial burden of sending their kids back to school. Consider giving a corporate gift or donation to help children have a successful school year here: https://lnkd.in/geKwk9U5! We also have great opportunities for groups of corporate volunteers at our events and drives. Contact our volunteer manager via our website on our website here: https://lnkd.in/g-wfZ77U

Recently at Julian Middle School our very own Director of Development, Juliet Yera was asked to speak to students during Career Day! Juliet was inspiring young minds to consider working in a field that gives back to the community and to pursue what inspires them. We are sure she has convinced many young students to one day become Hephzibah helpers or to follow the philanthropic path. Thanks for spreading the word about what we do, Juliet!

We are thrilled to have your support Annie Larson! You have always been an incredible ambassador for Hephzibah.
