Our Mission
We are dedicated to supporting families grappling with significant hardships and challenges. This campaign is about more than just new school supplies and shoes. It’s about instilling hope, resilience and dignity in the young lives we service. Our goal is to support 1,000 children, and young people whose families are facing economic and other various challenges and adversities to start the school year off right, prepared and inspired to learn.
What We Need
- Backpacks (grades JK-University)
- Lunch Kits (with reusable containers)
- Gift Cards for Running Shoes
- Class Supplies (paper, binders, pens etc)
You can make a significant impact by contributing to our cause.
