CVI Helps Kids Get Prepared for Back To School!

CVI teams are so generous that over 1100 pounds of school supplies were donated to the Roanoke United Way to help with Back To School supply drives. The United Way staff were very appreciative on behalf of the many students and teachers these gifts stand to help.
