Back-to-school campaigns are a focus in the September 2024 social good round-up as many organizations seek to make this season more accessible to families. There are a couple of activations highlighted in this list — from The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Back-To-Cafeteria campaign which assists families in managing the challenges some children face when eating at school to the ALDI Back-to-School Fund which seeks to alleviate costs associated with returning to school for families in the UK.
Drug monitoring and safety are also a focus for the September 2024 social good round-up. Avalon's DNA Testing Kit, for example, is designed to assess an individual's predisposition to opioid addiction. Walgreens and This Must Be The Place, on the other hand, have partnered to combat overdoses with a Naloxone festival partnership.
