What a joy it was to distribute the backpacks to the children today! Seeing their faces light up as they picked out their very own backpack was absolutely priceless. For the kids registered in Friendly Center's Summer Tutoring Program, we had an extra surprise—a special gift to take home and enjoy for the rest of their summer! We hope these small tokens bring even more smiles and fun to their days. Thank you again to everyone who made this possible.
