Mercedes-Benz USA employees donated 96 backpacks filled with high school supplies to Sandy Springs Education Force, continuing the company’s commitment to local students through its Driving Your Future initiative.

The backpacks were delivered to The Link at North Springs to help ensure students have the supplies they need to start the school year prepared and confident. Mercedes-Benz USA’s Driving Your Future initiative supports educational programs that empower the next generation, with a particular focus on communities where its employees live and work. Because Georgia schools start earlier than schools in many other parts of the country, families who recently moved to the area may miss backpack giveaways and other school-supply events. These donated backpacks help fill that gap, making sure students have essential supplies even when their families arrive after many back-to-school resources have already been distributed. We appreciate Mercedes-Benz USA for their ongoing support of SSEF's programs and of students in public schools in Sandy Springs. @mercedesbenzusa
