Ensuring Students are Ready to Learn

By Charlotte Wood | Director Of Marketing and Development

Happy students!
Happy students!

While the rest of the world celebrated graduations and the prospect of summer, we were already hard at work on the 2024 Back-to-School Drive. The Drive began May 1st, and to date, we are close to our goal of delivering 30,000 backpacks to K-12 students whose families can't afford the basic school supplies included.

The cost of school supplies has increased by nearly 25% since 2022, which significantly impacts the families we serve, who may already struggle to put food on the table or pay rent. We're delivering on our goal to give as many students as possible a feeling of excitement and confidence on their first day of school because they have new pens, pencils, notebooks, and other supplies.

In addition to the supplies, we also bring joy to them and their families. What's the most joyful thing? They get to pick the backpack that appeals to them most, expressing their personality or favorite color, and be proud they possess something new and unique. Through backpacks, we're empowering, uplifting, and uniting the community.
