Read more about our Back-To-School Distribution. Thank you to our amazing supporters, volunteers, and partners who made this day such an incredible success! Parents were also able to meet with a representative from Pittsburgh Public Schools to ask questions about the upcoming school year and the latest updates from their school district. In addition to collecting materials, parents were able to sit down with Hello Neighbor staff and interpreters to talk about access to technology in the home and get set up with the tools they need to support their child’s remote learning experience.
Students collected fully stuffed backpacks, lunch boxes, hand sanitizer donated by our friends at Global Wordsmiths, feminine care products, and other essential supplies, in addition to receiving fresh first-day-of-school haircuts from Metamorphosis Salon! On August 22nd, we hosted our third distribution geared toward getting students and families ready to head back to school where we distributed school supplies to over 90 refugee children enrolled in our Smart Start program!Įlementary through high school students and their parents attended this event at our office where all staff, volunteers and families were required to wear masks and follow COVID-19 safety guidelines.

We will continue hosting distributions to get essential supplies to our refugee families in need.
