Backpack Supply Drive Needs You!
Please join friends of Identity who have already donated school supplies and signed up to volunteer at our 3rd Annual Back to School Supply Drive. Check out our WISHLIST and VOLUNTEER opportunities here. We're on our way to filling backpacks for 800 of our young people, many of whom are new to the school system or have fragile connections to their education. And the benefit is more than just the supplies, but the opportunity for personal connection and check-in with Identity staff. Join us!
Special thanks to our Amigo Sponsors: longtime friends and allies, the Jewish Community Relations Council and newer friends and neighbors, The Manhattan Strategy Group’s MSG Cares.
