Today we officially kick off our annual Back-to-School Drive. For years, we’ve been helping kids in our community get the essential supplies they need for the school year. This year is no different.
As with everyone, we have had to evaluate new requirements and adapt our programs. Whether students are going back to their classrooms, or starting the new school year at home, we are committed to helping provide backpacks and school supplies for hundreds of students by Aug 7 in time for the new school year.
Two Ways You Can Make A Difference this Summer
You'll find the main ways to help listed below to provide for a student in need. With your help, and help from others, we can ensure that we have enough backpacks filled with school supplies for the students in our community who need them most.
1. Donate
Make a gift to support the Back-to-School Drive. It’s been a challenging time for students in our community -- particularly low-income families who are facing devastating economic hardship who are struggling to even provide food and pay rent. During these challenging times, a brand new backpack can serve as a symbol of hope. Plus, new, unused school supplies can bring renewed excitement for learning. Let's brighten futures and enable lasting solutions together. You can make a gift here or the link below.
2. Organize a (Virtual) Drive
You can host an virtual Backpack Drive to get your church, coworkers, or friends and family involved. Since we cannot gather in large groups at this time, we won’t be doing our traditional backpack build where people come help pack-up all the backpacks with supplies. However, you can still share the link so others can help sponsor backpacks filled with school supplies from the comfort of home.
There’s strength in community. We are so grateful for your support and ensuring that children and families get the help needed to thrive.
With thanks and deep appreciation,
