Queens, NY – Assemblyman Sam Berger (D-Queens) hosted a Back-to-School Event alongside community partners and local organizations to help students and families prepare for the upcoming school year.

The event brought together community organizations and partners to provide students with essential school supplies and educational resources to help them start the school year on the right foot. Families had the opportunity to connect with local organizations and learn about resources available to them throughout the year.

“A Better College Point Civic Association is incredibly grateful to Assemblymember Sam Berger for arranging and generously donating backpacks and school supplies for College Point’s young people as they get ready to begin a new school year,” said A Better College Point Civic Association President, Jennifer Shannon. “We also thank the Korean American Family Service Center for contributing additional supplies to help fill the backpacks. The Assemblymember continues to show his commitment to our community and our families, and we truly appreciate everything Assemblymember Berger does for College Point.”

“Through KAFSC’s Hodori After School Program, we see firsthand how children thrive when they have access to the support, resources, and encouragement they need to succeed,” said KAFSC Executive Director, Jeehae Fischer. “The start of a new school year should be a time of excitement and possibility, but for many families, the cost of school supplies can create additional financial stress. We are deeply grateful to Assemblymember Berger for helping our students begin the school year with the tools they need to feel confident, prepared, and ready to learn.”

“As the new school year approaches, I want to make sure that every student in our community has the tools and resources they need to succeed,” said Assemblyman Sam Berger. “I’m proud to partner with local organizations that are committed to supporting our families and investing in the future of our children. A new school year should be an exciting time, and we are happy to do our part to help students and families begin it with confidence.”

Events like these are a reminder of what we can accomplish when our community comes together to support one another. Assemblyman Berger is proud to work alongside local organizations and community partners who share a commitment to helping our children and families succeed. As students head back to the classroom, he looks forward to continuing to bring people together, connect families with valuable resources, and build a stronger, more supportive community for everyone in Queens.
