"The Moss Foundation strives to give back to the community. By providing school supplies to students in the tri-county region, we hope to alleviate any additional stress and burden that families may be facing in making sure that students are set up for academic success," said President of the Moss Foundation, Chad Moss.

For 17 years, this drive has been championed by Lenette Delahoz, an employee of Moss. "Nothing beats the satisfaction of knowing that you are providing so many students with the materials they need to have a successful school year. This is not only for the kids, but also for their families," said Lenette, who leads a team of more than 30 volunteers tasked with shopping, sorting, packing, and delivering the school supplies to participating schools.

Moss' executives, superintendents, interns, and employees left the Foundation's warehouse together in their fleet vehicles to deliver the materials to each location.
