“Back to School” Campaign

There’s a special kind of energy that comes with a new school year—fresh supplies, clean notebooks, and a sense of possibility. For many kids, it’s an exciting time.

But for children in foster care, the start of school can bring anxiety instead of anticipation. They may enter the classroom without the tools they need—and worse, without the sense of belonging every child deserves.

Because when you give a child the supplies they need, you give them more than just notebooks and pencils. You give them dignity. You give them a reason to smile. You help them feel seen.

Will you help us give a child in foster care the confident start they deserve? A small donation of $25 will provide a child with a new backpack and school supplies.

While we know school materials cannot remedy the complex issues that children will face, we can at least ensure they are provided with some degree of confidence to assist in removing a barrier that will bring them one step closer to the road to success.
