A Warren company is once again stepping up to help local students start the school year on the right foot. Berk Enterprises has collected and distributed free school supplies to city schools for the fourth consecutive year, continuing a tradition that has become a staple of the back-to-school season in the area.

Employees at the business gathered notebooks, pencils, backpacks, and other essential items over the past several weeks. The donations were then organized and handed out to students who need them most. Organizers say the effort is about more than just providing materials. It is about showing kids that the community cares about their education and their success.

The drive has grown each year since it started, with more staff members volunteering their time and more families taking advantage of the support. School officials have praised the partnership, noting that many students arrive on the first day without the basic tools they need to learn. Thanks to this effort, those students can walk into class prepared and confident.

For the employees at Berk Enterprises, the project has become a point of pride. They say the smiles on the children's faces make the work worthwhile. The company plans to keep the tradition going for years to come, ensuring that no student in Warren has to go without supplies.
