Affiliates Board Back-to-School Drive

For the second summer in a row, the Start Early Affiliates Board (formerly known as the Ounce Affiliates Board) collected and raised funds for backpacks and a variety of school supplies — from protractors to colored pencils — for former Educare Chicago students. Together, we provided 28 backpacks filled with school supplies to students who had recently graduated middle school and were entering their next chapter.
