About:
Laurel Park Elementary School earned a $2,500 TangerKids Grant Award to support the school’s Thrift Shop and the building’s ongoing community outreach efforts.
The grant was secured by school social worker Jesica Velasquez, who applied to help boost the shop as a resource for students and families struggling to afford basic necessities, including clothing and shoes. With the additional funding from Tanger Outlets at Deer Park, Laurel Park aims to meet the increasing demand for clothing, shoes, hygiene products, and other essentials for the school community.
