We’ve adopted 3 local Title 1 schools (a Title 1 School is a public school that gets extra federal money because it has a high number of kids from low-income families) and are going to meet all of their back to school needs! We’ll be assembling 110 backpacks and teacher kits filled with essential supplies for the school year. There are two ways to help:

1. Purchase items from our Amazon wishlist (will be shipped to MissionHQ)
2. Sign-up to help us pack the backpacks & supplies on Thursday, August 6th at 6pm at MissionHQ

Nearly 1 in 3 families nationwide say they can't afford school supplies this year, and teachers are picking up the slack. The average teacher now spends $895 of their own money each year just to make sure their students have what they need, with 97% saying their school's supply budget isn't nearly enough. Your gift of backpacks, supplies, hygiene items and teacher kits means one less thing local teachers have to buy out of pocket, and one more student who starts the year ready to learn. Every gift helps a school open its doors this fall with the resources it needs, and helps a student walk in feeling seen and supported.
