Neighborhood House, in collaboration with Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital and the Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan, will once again be providing hundreds of eligible students with school supplies, backpacks, clothing and health assessments through our Blast Off 2 School program. At Neighborhood House, we understand the importance of ensuring all kids have the tools they need to succeed at school.

There are two important events included in this program:

• Ascension Providence Rochester Hospital is providing free health screenings and sports physicals on Wednesday, Aug. 3, from 3 to 7 p.m. All participants will receive a completed health appraisal form.

• Back-to-school supply pickup on Saturday, Aug. 12, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Each Participant will receive a backpack, school supplies, as well as clothing and a hygiene kit provided by the Assistance League of Southeastern Michigan.
