Backpacks, Smiles, and Brighter Futures
With 67 IBM volunteers, 300 students received school supplies that sparked joy, eased worries, and helped them step confidently into the classroom.
The Essence
This initiative was about preparing children for success, boosting confidence, and ensuring every student feels supported as they start a new school year.
IBM volunteers teamed up with United Way of Coastal and Western Connecticut to assemble and distribute school supply resources for 300 students. The effort sent a message of care and encouragement to children and families in the community.
Problem
Many families face financial challenges that make it difficult to provide the necessary school supplies. Without these basics, children can feel left out and less prepared for learning.
Solution
67 IBM volunteers came together to assemble and deliver school supply resources. Despite the rainy day, they worked with energy and dedication, ensuring every backpack carried not just supplies but also hope and encouragement.
