The start of a new school year is daunting enough for homeless children without adding the stigma of sitting down to a desk without the essential tools many of their classmates may take for granted.

 

With your help, we hope to provide some sense of normalcy to these children’s lives—boosting their self-esteem by giving them new backpacks and school supplies so they may start the school year feeling more like “regular kids.”

 

In addition to backpacks and school supplies, we are in high need of kindergarten floor mats and scientific calculators for our high school students.

 

Donations can be dropped off at our Donation Center, located at 616 7th Avenue South, Nashville, TN 37203. It is open Monday through Saturday, from 7 AM to 7 PM for your convenience.

 

If you would like to make a monetary donation, please earmark your check "back to school" or donate online and write "back to school" in the comment box.
