Family Giving Tree's 2020 Back-to-School Drive is well underway, and while it has looked quite different this year, the heart of what we do has not changed. We are still providing backpacks and school supplies to thousands of Bay Area students in need, instilling them with the materials and confidence they need to enter into the new school-year.
For so many students in need, having the basic tools to learn makes all the difference. With 1 in 4 Bay Area children living in poverty, the need is great. Through your help, we will support over 22,000 students.
As the school-year begins once again, we are in the midst of distributing supply-filled backpacks to over 120 partner schools. Not only are we empowering students to learn, but we are ensuring that families don't have to make the difficult choice between putting food on the table or providing their children with school supplies.
Thank you for coming alongside Family Giving Tree to impact the journeys of thousands of students. When we pass along a backpack, we are passing along hope for the future and confidence to take on the present.
