Life as a homeless student presents many obstacles. For the kids staying in our shelters, obtaining school supplies can be a burden.
You can ease the stress of a new school year by providing good quality, sturdy backpacks for both young children and teenagers. Additionally, gift cards in $10 denominations will allow moms to go shopping with their kids to buy the specific items their teachers have requested.
