One week left in the Back to School Drive!
Prepared for School, Prepared for Life...

E-mail blast

Please consider donating a stuffed backpack, school supplies, or a gift card to purchase new clothes for families in need. When kids have their basic needs met, they are able to focus on what matters most: learning, achieving and succeeding in school.

We are on our way to meeting our goal with over 200 backpacks donated. We still need your help to reach our goal of at least 350 new backpacks stuffed with school supplies and gift cards for new back to school clothes by AUGUST 9th!

Donate ONLINE at our VIRTUAL BACK to SCHOOL STORE!

For your convenience, we set up a one-stop shop for back to school supplies. Simply fill your “backpack” with supplies and new clothes in our VIRTUAL BACK to SCHOOL STORE, or click on one of the fully stuffed backpacks for the grade level of your choice. We will do all the shopping and you will supply a youth with the tools they need to succeed! 

You can also call 916.344.0199 or email us to contribute. Backpacks, gift cards and school supplies can also be dropped off at our office, located at 8912 Volunteer Lane, Sacramento, CA 95826.
