Back Our Students Drive
Countless children start the new school year BEHIND — no backpack to wear, no school supplies of their own. Many come from families who struggle to put food on the table. More than you probably know live in homeless shelters ...

Let's give them a feeling of CONFIDENCE and HOPE
as they walk into the classroom on the first day of school.
