Every year, the cost of living in the San Francisco Bay Area keeps increasing, which continues to be a challenge for many of our neighbors. Over 46% of people in the Bay Area are considered low or very low-income. With families' finances stretched thin for essentials like housing and groceries, there's little left in their budgets for critical items like a backpack filled with school supplies for their children. At Family Giving Tree, we believe that every student should be equipped with the educational resources they need for their first day of school.
Since 1995, Family Giving Tree has been committed to supporting educational equity by providing backpacks filled with must-have school supplies, helping families ensure their kids start the school year excited and ready to learn.
Thanks to our solid partnerships with multiple vendors, we secure lower-priced backpacks and supplies, enhancing the value of our donors' contributions. When students arrive at school with the required supplies, they are ready to learn! A backpack filled with essential items not only prepares a student for school, it symbolizes the promising opportunities that await, and alleviates some financial stress for caregivers. Could you donate today to support our students?
