Back to School Supplies Giveaway
This summer, we are working with Babes Only to provide resources to underserved youth as they get ready for the start of the school year in the fall. We are hoping to provide 50 students with school supplies and backpacks, which will help ensure that families, who are already burdened by the negative economic impacts of the pandemic, are able to begin the school year with the tools they need to succeed in the classroom. We hope that by providing these backpacks, families won’t have to make the difficult choice of setting their children up for success in school or paying for basic necessities such as food, rent or utilities.
We are hoping to have the backpacks filled with supplies and give them to families in need in Chicago’s West side by August 30th, 2021, the start of the new academic year for Chicago Public Schools.
We are asking for the cost of supplies and backpacks
