As the first day of school gets closer, more parents are reaching out for help so their children can start the year with confidence.

Because of incredible generosity from our community, backpacks have already been donated, and a wonderful supporter has stepped forward to purchase all of the school supplies!

We have also set aside funds to help with school uniforms, socks, underwear, and even a few much-needed haircuts and hairstyles. But as more families have asked for help, we've realized we don't have enough to meet every need.

Our hope is for every child we serve can walk into school feeling prepared, confident, and ready to learn.

Would you consider helping us make that happen?

Every gift, no matter the size, helps provide the essentials that give a child the confidence to start the school year well. Together, we can make sure every Just Kid begins the year knowing they are seen, valued, and supported.

Note: any funds received above what is needed specifically for Back to School Ready will be used to support the mission of Just Initiative
