Group Homes Multiply Back-To-School Fuss
As summer fades, the back-to-school rush begins—a challenge for any parent. But imagine preparing not just two children, but dozens. Staff members in group homes face this reality each year, ensuring that every child has the supplies, clothing, and support they need for a successful start to the school year. Their dedication helps ease the transition, providing stability and encouragement for children in their care.
