August Backpack Drive!
It’s National Back to School Month!
Backpack Drive Dates:
August 1st, 2022 - August 31st, 2022
When transitioning, foster youth often relocate to new schools. A change of schools adds to isolation and trauma, increasing instability from home and school. But YOU can help! Donate a new backpack and school supplies today and help our foster youth thrive in their new environments. Our goal is 200 Backpacks!
Below are more details on all the ways that YOU can help and what we are looking for. Please email info@settothrive.com if you have any questions.
