#JoinThe Circle! We’re excited to announce that our Oakland office will be hosting a Back to School Drive from 10 AM to 3 PM, Monday through Saturday, this week.
It’s first come, first served! So, swing by and pick up a backpack filled with school supplies. Each household can grab up to 2 backpacks.
If you are a client or guardian with students in the house ready to learn, come through—we got you! We can’t wait to see you there!
