Back to school
It’s back-to-school season — and we need your help!
Local nonprofit Sending Hope Ohio is launching a Back-to-School Supply Collection to support local children in need. This initiative — in partnership with the NAACP, Denison University, and The Richards Group — helps ease the burden for struggling families and ensures local students are ready to start the school year strong.
