There’s a lot to do to prepare kids for the upcoming school year. While most parents and their kids prepare for school with both excitement and a little concern, this experience is often more stressful and concerning for survivors of domestic, dating and sexual violence and their children.

You can ensure that the students who are our clients arrive on the first day of school prepared with the supplies they need to be successful.

A gift from you can minimize the concerns of survivors and their children about having what they need to go back to school, while also providing a bonding experience and joyful memory for survivors and their kids.

Our Back-To-School Drive focuses on providing gift cards for survivors to purchase the items on lists provided by schools, which vary by district and grade level. For survivors who have experienced financial abuse, which is reported by 98% of our clients, this is often the first time they will have this experience which most of us take for granted.

Join us in making returning to school something that survivors and their children look forward to with hope and excited anticipation by donating a gift card or making a monetary donation.
