Community:

Empower Health Services is thrilled to announce its first School Supply Drive. This initiative demonstrates Empower Health Services' commitment to giving back to the community and ensuring students have the tools to succeed academically. The organization aims to provide much-needed resources to one local school: Dresden Elementary School, DeKalb County institution that serves children from diverse backgrounds. It is the goal of Empower Health Services to support local staff and students by ensuring they have adequate school supplies. We are excited to give back to our community in such a meaningful way!

School teachers support the development of young minds and promote growth, yet many school staff and students face significant challenges in acquiring basic supplies. Empower Health Services recognizes education's critical role in shaping the future and is committed to reducing these barriers. For many students, having access to essential supplies such as notebooks, pens, pencils, and backpacks can be life changing.
