Madison, Wisc. – With the new school year just around the corner, Badgers inside linebacker Jordan Turner has partnered with The Road Home Dane County to help collect donations of backpacks, school supplies, or other monetary contributions for families in need this fall.
The Road Home hopes to provide up to 500 backpacks filled with school supplies to children who’ve recently escaped homelessness and have moved into more stable housing.
“Throughout the course of my childhood, I have benefited greatly from the generous support and encouragement I received from my community, whether it be purchasing popcorn for my Cub Scout Troop, raffle tickets for my Pop Warner Youth Football team, or backpacks and school supplies as I started a new school year. Now it’s my turn to help give back in a big way! Together, we can put 100 students in the Madison, Wisconsin area in a position to succeed and get ready for a great year of school,” said Turner in a press release.
The Road Home will distribute Backpacks to the students at the “Families Moving Forward” school supply event on Saturday, August 13, from 12:00 noon – 2:00 pm at Brittingham Park located at 829 W. Washington Ave, Madison, WI 53715.
The Road Home Dane County is an organization that seeks long-term solutions to homelessness by helping families find and maintain stable, affordable housing.
