What We DO Back To School

Each August, members of the Corporate Volunteer Council join together for the Back-to-School Clothes for Kids Project. This project selects one school in the Valley (on a rotating basis) and provides low-income children from that town’s elementary school with brand new clothes and school supplies to gear up for the first day. The goal of this project is to provide kids with the confidence they need to start the school year ready to learn and to improve the attendance rate during the first week. This year Irving and Bradley Schools were chosen. CVC members continued it’s partnership with the schools through projects with the students, collecting books, and painting the school’s library.
