Event Recap - Backpack & School Supply Drive

YAAA would like to thank you for your generous support of this year’s Backpack & School Supply Drive that benefited the Boys & Girls Club of New Haven.

Each of the summer campers went home with a brand new backpack filled with supplies, an age-appropriate dictionary, and a gift certificate for a kids meal. The Boys & Girls Club of New Haven also has more supplies on hand to give to families throughout the year!
