Thank you for supporting Madison youth as they start the 24/25 school year.

You helped provide backpacks and school supplies for hundreds of children and teens, preparing them for the year ahead.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for getting involved and being active in our collective community ❤️

“This was super helpful for our kiddo! Of course, it helped us save some money on supplies, but it was also very exciting for him! Getting the supplies from Goodman got him very excited to start the new school year. It also showed him that Goodman supports his learning and what a caring community looks like. As a foster child, all the love and support that surrounds him goes a long way.”
