Events in Waldorf today

Arise Behavioral Health is coordinating a community-wide effort to collect new school supplies for children, adolescents, and families who receive behavioral health services. The initiative aims to ease barriers, strengthen family support, and help young people thrive in school and in life. It concludes with a Community School Readiness Event where families can pick up supplies and connect with educational, behavioral health, and community resources that foster long-term success. Opportunities to participate include donating new school supplies, partnering as a collection site, registering as a community resource vendor, arranging pickup for larger collections, and helping spread the word. Arise Behavioral Health notes that it is not a nonprofit and this is not a fundraising campaign, but rather a coordinated drive to gather supplies and bring together organizations dedicated to supporting local youth and families.
