Giveback 2 School 2020

The Annual Philadelphia Inter-Communal (APIC) #Giveback2School event aims to serve and empower low-income communities in Philadelphia each year.

APIC #Giveback2School typically hosts a day of fun at a local resource community center where community members receive vital resources to get ready for school, such as free haircuts and hair braiding, school supplies, uniforms, and connections to local resource organizations. Due to COVID-19, this year #Giveback2School will consist of contactless delivery of book bags filled with over 20 school supply items, including notebooks, pencils, crayons, folders, cases, and face masks.
