My Project
Our students need sturdy backpacks to carry their supplies and personal items so they can walk into class prepared, confident, and ready to learn each day. Many families in our community are doing their best, but financial challenges can make even basic school essentials out of reach.
With your support, we can remove that barrier and help every child start the school year with a durable backpack.
Together, we can set them up for success and show them their education matters.
When school starts in the fall we want to be sure we have enough backpacks for students who may need one.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
