A heartfelt thank you to @ruthsreusables for donating approximately 200 backpacks to Sweetser as part of its annual Tools for School Backpack Program. Ruth’s partners with @unumbenefits and receives support from @llbean, @txinstruments, other local businesses and individuals to provide students with the supplies they need to start the school year off right. These backpacks will be distributed to school-aged Sweetser clients in need. Thank you to all who contributed to the program. Sweetser is grateful for your support of our mission. #backtoschool #withsweetser #promisingfutures #schoolsupplies
