Community partners donate school supplies

We have the BEST community partners!

On Wednesday, representatives from Hill & Markes and New York State Industries for the Disabled delivered 70 brand-new backpacks loaded with new school supplies that will go to students at Albany International Center and Albany School of Humanities (ASH).

City School District of Albany Community Engagement Coordinator Cathy Edmondson gratefully accepted the donation at the district’s administrative headquarters at Academy Park from Bill Miller of Hill & Markes and Don Benson and Michelle Silvernail from NYSID.

Hill & Markes purchased the backpacks and supplies, and NYSID workers partnered with the company to fill them.

A huge thanks to both groups!
