## Resource

Back-to-school stress just got a little lighter in Inwood, Manhattan, where dozens of kids and parents hit a surprise giveaway event on Tenth Avenue—free backpacks packed with pens, pencils, notebooks, and more. Organized by Dyckman Inwood United and community partners like Gotham Food Pantry, the pop-up was a lifeline for families struggling with school supplies. Kids like seventh-grader Esmarlin Camilo praised the help, while organizers emphasized the power of community coming together—with City Council support and media backing—this grassroots effort proves that small acts can make big impacts on young learners’ success.
