JTs Operation School Supply
In 2020, the finance department at JTs Dodgeland took time out of their day to collect all the supplies for this drive. There were over 10 volunteers from service to sales, to pack all the backpacks with supplies and organize them by the student’s grade. Over 20 students in 5 different grades were given a backpack and the tools necessary to perform their schooling successfully that year. All in one single day!
