As we prepare to enter into the new year, we are looking forward to Family Giving Tree's 2020 Back-to-School Drive. In 2019, over 41,000 Bay Area students were given supply-filled backpacks, and in the coming year, we hope to provide even more.
For many Bay Area parents, affording school supplies is a heavy challenge. The reality is that 1 in 5 Bay Area children lives in poverty. Between putting food on the table, bills that pile up, unexpected expenses, and the rising cost of living, providing necessary school supplies and a backpack is not a priority for parents.
With your support, Family Giving Tree can help to inspire today's students and tomorrow's leaders. Students will walk into the classroom not only with a backpack full of supplies, but with confidence. Help make a difference for Bay Area students in need.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
