Back2School Program

Our Back to School Program is an annual late summer event where parents can sign their school children up for a backpack with grade appropriate supplies, haircut voucher to a local salon, and try on and pick out a new pair of tennis shoes. COA works with the school office to pay for school fees, if needed.
