Backpack/School Supplies Drive - Thank You!
July 22, 2023My Norwalk democratic legislative delegation joined once again with Open Doors in support of their Back to School Backpack Drive. This amazing event was a great success last year, and we are thrilled to have done it again this year. I commend Open Doors for their commitment to supporting families who need a little extra help to get their children ready for a successful school year. And we are happy to support them by helping engage our generous community in this initiative.
