Announcing a Backpack Drive for the 2024-2025 School Year
Acenda Integrated Health Care is collecting new backpacks and supplies for students through Monday, August 19th, 2024, just in time for the coming school year! Thanks to your support, we’ll ensure that hundreds of local students start their school year with confident smiles and all they need to excel in their learning!
