At the start of each school year, thousands of families in New York struggle with the inability to pay for supplies that their children in elementary, middle and high school need to get off on the right foot. Partnership With Children collaborates with a number of organizations, who help to bridge this gap by providing us with backpacks and school supplies, which we then ensure reach the neediest kids in public school.

On June 20th, a large group of volunteers from Morgan Stanley came together to learn about Partnership With Children's Open Heart-Open Mind programming, and to stuff school backpacks with supplies. During the course of the afternoon, these volunteers helped provide 100 packs, carefully provisioning them with pens, rules, notebooks and even USB drives.

Thanks to Morgan Stanley, 100 kids will have what they need to start the school year off right.
