Back to School equipped to succeed
Our goal this year is to equip 1,500 youngsters in need with backpacks and school supplies, but we are changing the way we finance this annual effort. We hope to purchase, from an outside vendor, pre-packed boxes of school supplies appropriate to each grade level. We will supplement this with a backpack. We need money more than school supplies for this year’s campaign.
      Any support you can provide is appreciated, but a $100 donation will get 5 children ready, ready to start the school year with a box of school supplies and a backpack, and a $20 donation will send one child back to school fully equipped to compete and succeed. We hope you can consider such a sponsorship by June 1.
      We believe it is essential for youngsters to be prepared to succeed in the classroom. Equipping them with the right supplies puts them on an equal footing with their peers and boosts their confidence. Donations can be made using the Donate Now button on this webpage, by e-mail, letter, or phone. Further information on this campaign is with Tina Kessens, client programs coordinator, at 708-633-5040.
