🎒 Our Build-a-Backpack event was a huge success — we gave out 650 backpacks to local kids, helped them customize each one, and provided immunizations and sports physicals to get them ready for the school year! 💛
We’re so grateful to our amazing partners — Central California Alliance for Health, Merced County Maternal Wellness Program, Dutch Bros, Mercy Medical Mobile Care Unit, Baby2Baby, Mercy Medical Center Merced Foundation, UC Merced, Merced College, and Project Food Box — for bringing extra smiles, treats, and resources to the day.
Here’s to a strong start to the school year! 📚✨
