Testimonial:

From Barbara Fox, School on Wheels:

Dear Friends:

 First, thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality last evening.  I enjoyed meeting you all and more so, being received with open arms, hugs and good conversation. It was a lovely evening and my pleasure to be among you all. It was great to see all the camaraderie–your chamber so vibrant!

 Next, I want to thank each and every one of you for your contributions to the SOWMA backpack and supply drive you are hosting for us and for the students we are serving. As I mentioned to you last evening, we are pulling together backpacks and resources for over 7,000 children this back to school season. Every backpack, every notebook, every pencil counts towards this effort. We cannot thank you enough for your help and generosity. We really believe the start of a great school year begins with the backpack and tools inside giving the children we serve everything they need including the confidence to do well in school. It means everything to them to fit in with their peers–most especially that first day. Further, you have helped families, teachers and school districts with your help. Your generosity is making it happen. You all are making a difference.

 Special thanks to Cranberry Chamber leadership for hosting this drive, choosing to support our organization and to Quack for always helping to make a difference for the children we serve.

 We are beyond grateful today. Please know whatever I took last night will be 100% used within the week and shipped out to communities all around the South Shore area.  

I hope to meet you all again–your energy was amazing!

 With sincere gratitude, Barbara Fox, School on Wheels
