The OECE is seeking community support to help students feel confident with the supplies they need for a successful school year. Your organization can alleviate the burden and expense of purchasing school supplies that some ASD families experience. The Back-to-School Backpack Jam is also the perfect opportunity for organizations to receive exposure and join other individuals and organizations in the community to promote back-to-school readiness.
