Better Together, a nonprofit dedicated to families and children, will be distributing school supplies to Collier County families in need.
This Saturday, Aug. 2 from 9 a.m. to noon, Collier County families are invited to Tree of Life Church in Naples to pick up essential school supplies. The event will be drop-in style for registered families, giving each the chance to secure supplies and connect with team members from Better Together to learn about the services they provide. Tree of Life Church will also have outdoor games and activities set up for families to enjoy.
Better Together helps parents who are going through a hard time to keep their kids out of foster care, find work and address the root causes of their struggle so that they can reunite as a family with the tools and support system to thrive.
The back-to-school drop-in event will take place at Tree of Life Church, located at 2132 Shadowlawn Drive in Naples. Families must register for the event in advance.
