Every child deserves the opportunity to walk into school feeling prepared, confident, and supported.

Through HEART's 2026 Back-to-School Drive, we're working to support 150+ students across Texas, Missouri, and Ohio by providing essential resources that help children succeed from the first day of school through the end of the year.

Your donation may help provide:

• School supplies for Kindergarten through 12th grade
• Backpacks for students in Texas and Ohio
• Required strap binders for students in Missouri
• School clothing, shoes, and other essential apparel
• Healthy snack boxes for students and families
• Assistance with school meal costs when possible
• Mid-year school supply replacements and restocks
• Emergency educational needs as they arise

Missouri schools often require students to use strap binders instead of traditional backpacks. These binders average approximately $25 each. If you would like to directly sponsor one, you can select that donation option during checkout.

Because every student's needs are different, HEART may use donations where they are needed most unless a donor chooses a designated giving option. Purchasing supplies in bulk allows us to maximize every dollar and help even more children throughout the school year.

In addition to monetary donations, we also welcome new clothing, shoes, backpacks, school supplies, and other student essentials to help families in our communities.

Together, we can remove barriers to education and ensure more students have the resources they need to learn, grow, and succeed.
