The first day of school should be filled with excitement, possibility, and confidence.
For many of the children we serve, preparing for school begins with something much more basic—having a safe place to sleep, clothes that fit, and the supplies they need to walk into the classroom feeling like they belong.
Because of our generous community, children facing abuse, neglect, trafficking, or homelessness receive essentials that help them start the school year with hope.
Every child deserves a childhood—and every child deserves a great first day.
