Each summer, the Pennrose Foundation’s Back to School Backpack Drive helps children in Pennrose communities start the school year prepared and confident. This year, more than 5,000 residents received new backpacks filled with school supplies throughout every Pennrose community.

The highlight of this year’s drive was the Glenarden Back to School Bash at Glenarden Hills in Maryland—our largest backpack event yet. In partnership with the Harkins Foundation, Pennrose team members came together to distribute supplies, connect with families, and celebrate the start of a new school year.
