Salisbury, MD — Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Eastern Shore (BBBSES) calls on community members, businesses, and organizations to help local youth and families in need prepare for the upcoming school year. The organization is collecting new school supplies to ensure children facing adversity start the year with the tools, confidence, and encouragement they need to succeed.
Every donation makes a direct impact right here at home. BBBSES is committed to supporting local families, providing essentials for those in need- one backpack, one notebook, one pencil at a time.
“School supplies aren’t just materials- they’re a foundation for learning and confidence,” said Jessica Mimms, Executive Director of BBBSES. “Our community has always shown up for our youth, and we hope everyone will join us in making sure local kids have the resources they deserve.”
The supply drive will run until August 20th, with all donations distributed directly to local youth and families served by BBBSES programs. In addition to the school supply drive, BBBSES is excited to announce that the Delmarva Shorebirds have generously sponsored an end of summer enrichment event for youth and families. This special event will provide an afternoon of fun and connection, celebrating the resilience of local young people.
