Back to School in East Flatbush was filled with energy, joy, and community pride. From brand-new supplies, families coming together to setting students up for a strong year ahead. ⏳ We’re down to the last 3 days of our Backpack Drive. Every backpack donated means one more young New Yorker walking into school ready to learn, grow, and thrive. This is what community looks like — neighbors showing up for each other, families supported, and kids stepping forward with confidence. 💙 📦 Donate a backpack. 📲 Share this video. 💬 Tell us what community means to you.

👀 Is this illegal? Our COO, Lissa Mariel Southerland and CEO, Alan Mucatel say absolutely not. 🎒 Giving thousands of NYC students the supplies they need to thrive… It feels illegal. It’s not because we’re making this happen as a COMMUNITY. Our Backpack Drive is LIVE and we need your help to make it happen. 📚 Share this post. 📦 Donate a backpack.

Fresh cut, fresh start. We know getting ready for the school year is about more than supplies. It’s about confidence, care, and community. It takes a village to prepare our youth for success. 🏫💙 Help us send them back to school ready to rise → https://lnkd.in/dbbEDUGb

Some of our Rising Ground team members enjoyed a Mets game together this week, taking time to connect beyond the incredible work they do every day. It’s always inspiring to see colleagues building community inside and outside the workplace. ⚾ Here’s to the people who bring heart to this mission on and off the field.
