As another new school year starts, most students are focused on seeing their friends and getting good grades, but for others, who are staying at the Mission, they are more concerned about basic necessities, such as food, clothing, and shelter.

You can give them one less thing to worry about by helping fill 100 backpacks with much needed school supplies. Your financial donation of any amount or a donation of items off one of our wish lists will go a long way in providing the kids staying at the Mission with the tools they need to learn and feel more secure as they return to school.

THREE WAYS YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE:

—Make an online financial donation now here.

—Purchase items off our Amazon Wish List and have them shipped directly to the Mission.

—While you’re out shopping, pick up school supplies and drop them off at the Mission. You can download a complete list of back to school needs here.
