"Backpack" to School!

featured in Community

Meridian Waste Virginia-Petersburg Hauling donated school supplies to support the residents of Crater Square Apartments, a property managed by the Greenbrier Management Company, in their back-to-school celebration. The students who attended this back-to-school-backpack event were gifted school supplies they may not have otherwise had access to purchase due to a number of concerns including COVID, transportation and/or financial considerations.

We are proud to support our communities, neighbors, and customers, and while no "thanks" are ever needed, we certainly appreciate it! This email brought a smile to our faces, and we wanted to share:

Good Afternoon,
I wanted to do a nice handwritten thank you card, but time is getting away so fast. Instead, you're getting an email 😊
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for contributing to our "Back Pack to School 2021" event. It was a great turnout this year. The kids had a blast!! Everyone was loaded up with supplies for back to school!! I could not do this event without your help, so please know that I am forever grateful. - Denise G., Crater Square.
