It’s back-to-school season, which means it’s also the time of year that our community comes together for a common purpose, coming together to support families and children in need during this hectic season. As we prepare for the school year, a local nonprofit is asking Westchester families to join their collective effort to ensure that all children in our community are prepared for the upcoming school year. As the new school year approaches, The Children’s Village (CV) has launched a summer backpack fundraiser to provide students with the essential tools they need to excel in the upcoming school year.
