Every day, countless children in the U.S. head to school without the necessary supplies or a sturdy backpack to carry their belongings. Many of these kids, including those who are homeless or come from low-income households, lack access to basic educational tools. In 2021, families spent an average of $696.70 on back-to-school supplies, a significant financial burden for parents focused on essentials like food and shelter.
By providing a backpack filled with school supplies, you can help equip children in need with the tools they require to succeed in their education. These backpacks not only offer practicality but also instill a sense of pride among kids, giving them something to call their own. With a well-stocked backpack, homework can be managed effectively, and extra-curricular items can be transported safely.
Your contribution can help children of all ages feel prepared and valued. Each backpack comes filled with essential school supplies, including construction paper, a pencil pouch, scissors, colored pencils, crayons, highlighters, pens, pencils, erasers, a ruler, a folder, a notebook, and glue sticks. Whether you choose to support one child or several, your generosity makes a meaningful difference.
For instance, the Native American Advancement Foundation distributed 264 backpacks filled with school supplies to local children, making a significant impact on their sense of self-worth and mental health, as highlighted by Dr. Jen McCormak of NAAF.
