Backpack Campaign

by: Cardinal McCloskey Community Services

  • Price: $25.00

The start of the school year could be vastly different for children in foster care. It can be stressful and overwhelming as they face the pressures of navigating a new social environment and the fear of not fitting in or being excluded. The lack of proper supplies, like a torn or battered backpack, only adds to the stress suffered by children born into an unstable family environment.

Every child should be full of excitement, not full of anxiousness or trepidation. Lacking the proper school supplies, such as notebooks, pencils, and crayons, coupled with an unstable family environment, only adds to a child's stress. That's why we strive to help make school a place for children to feel welcomed, cared for, and hopeful.

To donate, please fill out the form below or text "cmcsbacktoschool" to 50155 to help purchase school supplies for one child for $25 (or 2 children for $50, etc.).

We know school materials cannot remedy the complex issues the children will face, but we know that it will at least provide them with the possibility and confidence to assist in removing a barrier that will bring them one step closer to the road to success.
