Lifting the Label is a student-focused event designed to support students as they prepare for the new school year. Recognizing that basic needs are directly tied to a student’s confidence, focus, and academic success, the event provides school supplies, new shoes, and professional haircuts in a safe and celebratory environment. Families are also connected to supportive services, including mental health resources and community partners.

​

Our statewide back-to-school initiative that equips students not just with supplies, but with safe spaces, mentorship, and mental health resources to help them rise above labels and thrive.
