Back To School Drive 2024
While students and teachers rest this summer, help us make sure that all of our students can go back to the classroom equipped with everything they need to start the year off right. Your generosity can change that and ensure their school year is one of success. Your gift will be shared across all of our services - including refugee youth, foster youth, and families struggling to make ends meet.
Make your gift by July 24 to ensure that each student has their gear in time for the new school year!
Take a look below at the most urgent needs and learn more about how you can participate.
