M&I is sponsoring Gear Up & Go! hosted by Northern Valley Catholic Social Service and Kohl’s Cares 

Gear Up & Go! helps children start the school year feeling confident, prepared, and supported through a personalized back-to-school shopping experience. entence 

Children referred through Northern Valley Catholic Social Service programs and community partners are paired with volunteer shopping buddies who help them select clothing, shoes, and school essentials that fit their needs, style, and personality. More than a shopping trip, the event creates meaningful connections and reminds every child that they are valued and supported by their community. The event takes place on Saturday, August 8, from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. As a sponsor, M&I is honored to support an initiative that helps local children begin the school year with confidence while bringing community members together to make a lasting difference.
