What We Do - Back to School With Dignity

Education is essential to breaking the cycle of poverty.

People to People’s Back to School with Dignity program provides essential school supplies to at-risk students from low-income families, making it possible for these students to start the school year with confidence.

Every August & September, prior to the start of the school year, PtoP volunteers fill backpacks with school supplies, including scientific calculators for high school students, to prepare children from Rockland’s struggling families for a successful school year.

Back to School with Dignity would not be possible without the continued support of Orange & Rockland Utilities, the Verizon Foundation and the Rockland County Board of Realtors.

For more information about how to support Back to School with Dignity, contact our Fund Development Director Jennifer Brady.
