🚨 Help Us Get Students Ready for Success! 📚🎒

The MoCo Pride Center is now accepting donations for our Back 2 School Supply Drive!

From now through August 31, we’re collecting new school supplies to help ensure local students head back to school with the tools they need to thrive.

Whether it’s backpacks, notebooks, pencils, folders, crayons, markers, calculators, or other classroom essentials, every donation makes a difference.

💙 Donation Drive: Now – August 31
📍 Drop-Off Location: MoCo Pride Center

Last year, thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, we distributed 100+backpacks and 1,000+ school supplies to local students. This year, we hope to make an even greater impact—with your help!

Together, let’s make sure every student starts the school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported.
