On August 31, 2024, in Manhattan’s Lower East Side at 113 Avenue D, Veronica Gonzalez, also known as Vero G., hosted her highly anticipated 5th Annual Back-to-School Giveaway. With the help of collaborators, including Jason Murillo and several community organizations, hundreds of families received much-needed school supplies, such as backpacks, writing utensils, books, and snacks.
This year marked a significant milestone for the event, as it returned to its home base in the Lower East Side after being held in the Bronx last year. Vero G. and her team chose to bring the giveaway back to their roots to celebrate five years of giving back to the community. Joining Vero G. was Jason Murillo, a candidate for City Council District 2, supported by the New York County Conservative Party, along with Devil Dog USA, Incorporated, and other local organizations.
As families lined up to receive school supplies, the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy. Music by Vero G. herself provided a lively backdrop, while conversations on how to further uplift the community sparked among attendees. The event was not just about handing out supplies but also about bringing the community together and discussing ways to address its needs.
The annual giveaway continues to grow each year, and the 2024 event proved to be another success, leaving families with smiles and a sense of hope for the upcoming school year.
