Leesburg, Fla. – September 20, 2024 – Summit Broadband, a leading provider of fiber-optic telecommunications in Florida, demonstrated its commitment to the community on National Care for Kids Day by donating essential supplies to Leesburg Elementary School.

The school, which serves 95 homeless children and many others facing food insecurity, received donations of clothing, food, snacks, shoes, and jackets. These items will help students thrive in the classroom and beyond.

“We believe in giving back to the communities we serve,” said Kurt Van Wagenen, Chief Executive Officer of Summit Broadband. “We’re proud to support Leesburg Elementary School and help provide essential resources to their students, especially those facing challenging circumstances.”
