Last month, Ernst & Haas Management Co. had the honor of partnering with the Long Beach Rescue Mission for their annual backpack drive.
More than 1,000 backpacks filled with new school supplies were given to at-risk students at various elementary and middle schools throughout Long Beach.
This year, the Long Beach Rescue Mission hosted their 1st Annual Back to School Carnival, where students got to enjoy games, prizes, face painting, and of course, a visit from the Long Beach Fire Department, whose firemen handed out backpacks.
Ernst & Haas was proud to participate in the backpack drive, as we know how important it is for the kids in our community to be prepared as they enter a new school year. If you would like to join our efforts, keep reading our blog as we post upcoming community events that Ernst & Haas participates in.
