About this Event

The Allies in Action Build-A-Kit Event brings our community together to assemble 1,500 school supply kits for marginalized students including LGBTQ+ youth, recent immigrants, and children with disabilities. In a time when inclusion is under attack, this event is our stand for equity, kindness, and giving every child the tools they need to thrive.
