Help A Student In Your Community

Each year, the We've Got Your Back program helps approximately 1,200 K-12 students with backpacks and school supplies. These students are friends and families in your community struggling to make ends meet, with parents deciding whether to buy food, medications, or gas to get to work. The added expense of school supplies is often out of the equation, and kids would go without them if it weren't for this program.

Your support will help students in your community have what they need to start the new school year right. Your donation will give us a head start and help us purchase backpacks and supplies in bulk. Click Here to Donate
