When kids have new school supplies of their own:

Grades, classroom behavior, and engagement improve
Self-esteem increases
Attitudes toward school and learning strengthen

Metropolitan Ministries works to get kids the supplies they need by providing backpacks, uniforms, and school supplies to thousands of children each year. We work to help them.

Every year, we raise money to buy one of the most expensive items on a back-to-school list -- backpacks!

We've provided backpacks for over 2,020 kids, and we hope to add to that amount this year!

Now, we're ready to add to the pile. A donation of just $10 can buy a backpack for child in need!
