Throughout the year, Friends of Wake Guardian Ad Litem work with the community to collect school supplies and backpacks for children in need. There are many children in our schools who do not have the resources to start school with the necessary school supplies. The classroom environment is a haven for most children that live in poverty and have limited, if any, resources to support their educational needs.
TriSure employees donated their time for this fantastic cause by gathering school supplies and assembling backpacks for some of these kids. The goal of this project is to set each child up for success and have them feel a sense of pride on their first day of school.
