At the end of the school year, in the rush to head out for summer, many perfectly good school supplies often get left behind. This year, My Green Earth (MGE) found a way to give those items new life and purpose. Thanks to the efforts of teachers, parents, and students across multiple schools in May, boxes of unused supplies were collected for redistribution to students in need. Together, the community gathered and distributed over $2,200 worth of brand new or like-new supplies to put back into the hands of learners.
