Members of our local Critical Start HQ office came together on Tuesday - from interns to executive - to stuff 100 backpacks for preschool and pre-k age kids as part of Rainbow Days 2025 Back-to-School Backpack Drive! These supplies will help Dallas ISD children, that are experiencing homelessness, start their school year with everything they need to succeed. It's incredible to know we're contributing to support local kids through Rainbow Days' 34th annual Back-to-School Celebration this August. There's something special about seeing our team members roll up their sleeves together for such an important cause. Every child deserves to feel prepared and excited for the new school year! 🌈
