🎒💙 Helping Fill Backpacks and Hearts! 💙🎒

This year, our employees came together to collect school supplies for Brookdale Henderson’s Fill a Backpack program, helping local students head back to school with the tools they need to feel prepared and confident.

For many families, back-to-school shopping can bring added stress to an already stretched budget. Being able to help ease even a small part of that burden is something we are truly grateful for.

One of the things we love most about being a cooperative is that Concern for Community is more than a principle; it’s something we get to put into action. We live here, work here, raise our families here, and when there is an opportunity to help our neighbors, it feels good to be part of it. 💙

A big thank-you to our employees who donated and to Brookdale Henderson for the work they are doing to make sure local students start the school year feeling supported and ready to learn.

We are proud to help fill backpacks and, hopefully, make the start of the school year a little brighter. 📚❤️
