This philanthropic endeavor, orchestrated in close collaboration with elected officials, Assembly and Council members, and local grassroots leaders, aims to supply students with the tools they need to succeed in their academic pursuits.

The impact of HITN’s donations extended across the city, providing much-needed support to educational districts in Brooklyn, Queens, and The Bronx. Within these boroughs, numerous communities were touched by this initiative, including Williamsburg, Canarsie, East Elmhurst, Woodside, Jackson Heights, Morrison, Marble Hill, Castle Hill, Longwood, and Devoe Park.

In preparation for the recently commenced school year, the organization distributed backpacks, notebooks, and various essential school supplies, ensuring that each young scholar was equipped to tackle their academic journey with confidence.

HITN’s Back-to-School Program serves as a testament to the power of collaboration between civic leaders, community organizers, and organizations dedicated to enhancing educational opportunities. This collective effort has made a positive impact on the lives of countless students, easing the burden on families, and setting the stage for a successful school year ahead.
