Passport to Possibilities

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community, nearly 200 families joined us for Union Settlement’s Passport to Possibilities Back-to-School Event, where we distributed 367 backpacks filled with school supplies to help East Harlem students start the school year prepared and confident. This success would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors, in-kind corporate partners, volunteers, and community champions who showed up for local families in a big way. A special thank you to Temple Emanu-El for your partnership and commitment to helping children thrive. And a huge shout-out to Dunkin’, who helped make the day even sweeter by providing gift cards, donuts, and beverages for families attending the event. Your generosity brought smiles to hundreds of children and parents throughout the day.

Together, we’re ensuring that students head back to school with the supplies, confidence, and support they need to succeed.
