Did you know? May 17th, was specifically chosen to celebrate the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia to commemorate the World Health Organization’s decision to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. May 17th is now celebrated in more than 130 countries, including 37 where same-sex acts are illegal. Thousands of initiatives, big and small, are happening across the globe today!

Our economically vulnerable must make impossible choices every day…choosing between paying rent, paying bills or buying groceries. September brings an additional financial stress for these families, back to school shopping for all of the basic tools that will contribute to their child’s success. Our vision is that everyone in every community has the opportunity to reach their full potential and our Backpacks for Success initiative serves to ensure that all students will have the educational tools they need this fall.
With a 67% increase in requests from our local school communities for the program this year, we have added two new sponsorship options for those who would like to have a broader impact that will help us to achieve the level of community investment required for this fall. Learn how you can help provide educational tools...and foster a sense of inclusivity at https://buff.ly/3lblzxM

As we begin to focus on recovery and rebuilding after the global pandemic, it has become increasingly difficult to ignore the fact that the events of the past two years have disproportionally affected our economically vulnerable populations.
1 in every 6 households in the City and County of Peterborough have an annual income that falls under 20k. For these families and many others, finding the extra resources to provide these supplies is almost impossible.
You can help to build an equitable recovery and foster a sense of inclusivity for these students through your support of Backpacks for Success. Donate now at https://buff.ly/3KIyO3j
