For All Seasons to Host Back-to-School Resource Fair and School Supplies Giveaway
For All Seasons will host its annual School Supplies Giveaway and Resource Fair on Wednesday, August 12, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at the Easton Elks Lodge #1622. The free community event will provide hundreds of local students with backpacks filled with school supplies, helping students and families begin the school year feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn.
The Talbot County Department of Social Services is supporting the event with the purchase of hundreds of backpacks pre-stuffed with essential school supplies for children in the community. Families can also enjoy games, snow cones, ice cream, raffles, and more while connecting with local organizations offering additional school supplies, health and wellness resources, educational information, and family services.
"Our goal is to help every child head back to school feeling prepared, confident, and excited for the year ahead," said Katie Theeke, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer at For All Seasons. "A successful school year starts with more than school supplies. It starts with students and families feeling supported. By bringing our community together and connecting families with valuable local resources, including our mental health services, we're helping students begin the school year with the confidence and care they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom."
