This is a challenging time for all families as kids prepare to go back to school. It's an especially trying time for refugees and immigrants who have to maneuver changing policies and information in a language, culture, and country they are not completely familiar with.

In response, we are hosting our third Hello Neighbor distribution specifically focused on school supplies for our 179 refugee students headed back to school.

This event will be held at Hello Neighbor’s office on August 22nd and will take place between 12-4pm. This event is restricted to families enrolled in Hello Neighbor programs only. Preregistration is required.

Thanks to donations from our amazing community partners and so many generous individuals, we have some great school supplies to give away! Families can receive fully stuffed backpacks, Chromebooks, and feminine care products. Free haircuts will also be provided thanks to Metamorphosis Organic Salon, Spa, and Wellness Studio!

As with our last distribution event, we will be adhering to COVID-19 safety guidelines as outlined by Allegheny County and all attendees, volunteers, and staff will be required to wear a mask and keep a safe social distance.
