Homeless children often struggle to be successful in school. In addition to the stress of not having a secured place to live, they often lack basic school supplies.

We partnered with The Family Shelter, an emergency housing facility for children and their families, to help them kick-off the new school year!

We were able to donate the following school supplies:

• 100 drawstring backpacks
• 20 backpacks
• 24 packs of crayons
• 24 packs of colored pencils
• 24 packs of highlighters
• 24 packs of erasers
• 24 packs of #2 pencils
• 24 packs of pens
• 24 reams of ruled paper
• 24 packs ruled index cards
• 24 packs of post-it pads
• 24 packs of glue sticks
• 24 Pencil sharpeners
• 80 snack-size bags of chips
• 80 cupcakes and/or cookies
• 160 bottles of water
• 75 gently loved books
• 20 gently loved stuffed animals
• 10 games

In addition to collecting school supplies to stock their homework station, we hosted a BACK TO SCHOOL BASH with face painting, corn hole, a ball toss and other games for all to enjoy.
