My Project

Many of our families come from low-income homes and are unable to find affordable, backpacks.

This project will allow me to replace worn-out, broken backpacks for our students that desperately in need.

We have students that have no way to carry their computer laptops home daily or other class supplies. We also have a Food Pantry where kids can fill up their backpacks so they don't go hungry.

Nothing makes a day better with something new and fresh, and the proper tools to succeed!

Your generous donation will ensure all of our students are set up for success!
