Neighbors Helping Neighbors 💙 This past month, th Neighbors Helping Neighbors 💙

This past month, the Bowmen Family Foundation was proud to continue supporting local families and youth in our community—including sending scholarship funds for three of our graduating senior scholarship recipients as they prepare to head off to college this fall! 🎓

But our support doesn’t stop there. As summer winds down and a new school year approaches, we know this season can bring extra expenses for families. School supplies, backpacks, new shoes and clothing, sports registration fees, cleats, equipment, activity fees and more can add up quickly.

The Bowmen Family Foundation is here to help members of our community when they need a little extra support. Whether it’s helping put groceries on the table, assisting with rent or utilities, providing school supplies, helping a child participate in sports or activities, supporting families during the holidays, or stepping in during an unexpected hardship—we want our neighbors to know they don’t have to navigate those moments alone.

If you or a family you know could use a helping hand as we head into the new school year and fall sports season, please reach out. 💙

Because that’s what our Foundation is all about: Neighbors Helping Neighbors. 🏹💛
