Beyond Your Limits provides back-to-school assistance each year along with helping at-risk adolescents to be positively involved in our community.
The donations from Beyond Your Limits to the Functional Family Therapy HCJPD Health Services program will provide participants and their families in need of assistance with school supplies and backpacks. These items will provide educational support to elementary and middle school youth as they return for the 2024-2025 academic year.
