The release notes that this year's school supply program will be the largest volunteering initiative since the partnership was established in 2020. In the weeks prior to the start of most schools, Shane Co. employees will use employer-paid volunteer days to fill backpacks with essential back-to-school supplies for students attending underserved schools.

"This program is something we look forward to every year because it is a tangible and meaningful way for us to connect and give back to the communities we serve," said Rordan Shane, President and CEO of Shane Co, in the release. "It is truly incredible to be part of a such a remarkable program. Knowing that we're able to be part of a student's school year to help them succeed is amazing"

Throughout the month of August, volunteers from all 21 Shane Co. stores will pack new notebooks, pencils, pens, and other essential school supplies in individual backpacks for teachers to distribute to students.

"We are grateful for Shane Co.'s continued dedication to creating equitable learning environments through its partnership with Kids In Need Foundation," said Corey Gordon, CEO of KINF, in the release. 

"Each year, they've increased employee and customer engagement in making a difference in their respective communities and inspired a collective passion within their organization for our mission. We appreciate the commitment Shane Co. has made to under-resourced teachers and students in their hometowns," Gordon added.
