North Venice’s PGT Innovations gathered more than 25 team members and leaders together to assemble and deliver SchoolTools backpacks. For the 10th consecutive year, PGT Innovations has donated backpacks and school supplies through World Vision, a global Christian relief organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.

With $6,000 of contributions this year, employees of PGTI filled 250 backpacks with notes of encouragement and supplies, including notebooks, binders, pens, pencils, packs of filler paper, pencil pouches, folders, pencil sharpeners, erasers, rulers, crayons, glue sticks, scissors and markers. PGTI then delivered the backpacks to students at Garden Elementary in Sarasota County for the school year. 

While a simple effort, new school supplies inspire and encourage children to engage in learning and invokes creativity. Thank you so much to PGT Innovations and World Vision for their generosity,” says Amy Archer, Principal at Garden Elementary, during the donation event. “We are so incredibly blessed to live in a community that supports the work we do.”
