Giving Back, Together: DCCM Teams Support Students Through Back-to-School Drives

Across DCCM, teams came together to make a positive impact in their communities through back-to-school donation drives, helping provide children and youth with the resources they need for a strong start to the upcoming school year.

Northeast Florida Team Supports Port in the Storm

DCCM's Northeast Florida team partnered with Port in the Storm Homeless Youth Center in St. Augustine, Florida, an organization dedicated to supporting homeless and unaccompanied youth by providing safe housing, essential resources, life-skills development, job-readiness training, and housing support.

Team members donated a variety of school supplies, including notebooks, backpacks, writing utensils, and headphones, along with shelter essentials such as hygiene products, snack bars, cleaning supplies, and laundry items. The team also contributed Target and Walmart gift cards to help support the organization's ongoing programs and services.

Houston Team Partners with BEAR

The Houston Infrastructure and Power team partnered with BEAR (Be A Resource for CPS Kids), a Houston-area nonprofit that supports children impacted by abuse and neglect who are connected to Child Protective Services.

Employees from across the organization contributed by donating school supplies in person and purchasing items through the BEAR Amazon Wishlist. Together, they collected more than 500 school supplies, greatly surpassing both the original goal of 100 items and the expanded goal of 350. The donations will help equip children with the essential supplies they need as they return to the classroom.
