Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

In Texas, we know it takes a village to raise kids, and right now, many families are facing a tough time getting the basics—things like notebooks, pencils, and backpacks. For families struggling to make ends meet, every little bit counts, and your donation can make a world of difference.

By giving these supplies, you're not just helping kids get what they need for school—you’re giving parents one less thing to worry about, so they can focus on what really matters.

Your generosity means these kids can walk into school ready to learn, with no worries about missing supplies.

Together, we can make sure every child has the tools they need to succeed. When you help, you’re part of the village that’s raising our future. Thanks for being there for our kids and their families!
