Back-to-School Support

Helping Kids Start the School Year Prepared and Confident

🎒 The Back-to-School Support program helps local children begin the school year with the supplies, clothing, and essentials they need to feel prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

As families balance rising costs, work responsibilities, and household needs, this program offers practical support to help ease the financial strain that often comes with back-to-school season.

For many families, back-to-school season brings added expenses on top of everyday responsibilities. This program is designed to support families who are working hard but may need help covering the cost of school supplies, clothing, and other necessities.

What Support May Include

Support is offered based on need, availability, and community support, and may include:

  • Backpacks and school supplies

  • Clothing and shoes suitable for school

  • Basic hygiene items

  • Assistance through supply drives or community distribution events

Support may be provided through individual assistance or group events depending on available resources.

Our Approach

We believe students are best positioned to succeed when they feel prepared, supported, and included.

Back-to-School Support focuses on meeting practical needs while preserving dignity and reducing stress for families during a busy and often expensive time of year.
