Proud Moment –  Backpacks Delivered to the Welcome Center! 

Written by Aimee Kereage, Executive Director

After distributing 550 backpacks at CelebratED and delivering over 1,000 more to district schools, the Gear Up for School team saw there was still a need at the Manchester School District Welcome Center.

This morning, they proudly delivered 250 additional backpacks, ensuring more students can start the year feeling confident and ready. Thanks to a new connection with Cradles to Crayons, even more school supplies will be available to families.

As Gear Up for School Lead Seneca Eldredge shared: “We are thrilled to partner with Manchester Proud and the Manchester School District and leverage our connections to meet local community needs.”

Together, we’re making sure every student has what they need to thrive.
