## Resource

Goodwill Industries teamed up with local partners in North Omaha to hand out 750 free backpacks packed with school supplies, plus lunch and health screenings for families struggling amid rising costs. Kids like eight-year-old Lucas picked backpacks that matched their style, while teens like Javier praised the chance to choose what they needed — especially since his mom, a Goodwill employee, stressed how vital these events are for overwhelmed parents. Goodwill’s marketing director confirmed the surge in community need, highlighting how these giveaways ease financial pressure before school starts. Up next: an August 15th event offering gift cards at Omaha stores to help more families gear up. This is Goodwill’s mission in action — ensuring every child starts school ready, supported, and confident. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
