Our Summer Drive!
Every August, children leaving our emergency shelter walk into a new classroom — often a new school, in a still-unfamiliar neighborhood. A backpack, a set of pencils, a fresh notebook: small things that carry real weight for a child who has already been through so much. This summer, you can make sure they start the year feeling prepared and knowing someone cared. Shop our Amazon Wish List and items ship straight to our office, or coordinate an in-person drop-off.
