Community Health Choice, a local health insurance agency that provides low-cost or no-cost coverage to families in need, has donated 500 backpacks to support Pasadena ISD students as they head back to school.
The donation by Community Health Choice was facilitated by ABC Dental. In previous years, ABC Dental hosted the Pasadena ISD Back-to-School event and Community Health Choice was one of the sponsors. While the back-to-school event may have been canceled this year in response to the pandemic, ABC Dental and Community Health Choice have continued to find ways to help area students and their families through this generous donation.
