Steet Ponte Lincoln Gives Back to Utica City School During 3rd Annual Backpack and Supplies Drive
There’s no better way to start a new school year than feeling prepared and ready to take on what’s ahead! For the 3rd Annual Steet Ponte Auto Group School Supplies & Backpack Drive, our team joined together with our fellow Steet Ponte stores to donate 576 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to local students. Each backpack was filled with classroom essentials, including folders, crayons, glue sticks, scissors, pencils and more. We hope these supplies help students feel confident walking through the doors on their first day and give them the tools they need for a successful year. Steet Ponte Ford & Lincoln, along with the other Steet Ponte stores on Commercial Drive, was proud to donate to the Utica City School District. We’re honored to support the students in our community and proud to continue an annual tradition that makes a difference. To every student heading back to school: believe in yourself, work hard and have an incredible year!
