Thursday morning, the foundation passed out 200 dorm-room starter packs to the graduates.
The bags included a bed in a bag, towels and luggage, among other supplies.
Graduates who registered were also eligible to receive a refurbished laptop.
An Edison High School graduate who will attend Our Lady of the Lake University expressed gratitude for the supplies.
“I’m a first generation, and I’m going to the dorms, and so I’m just glad that I have these resources to help me with these kinds of things because some families don’t really have the ability or resources to gain these things,” said Marlia De Jesus.
