Backpack & School Supply Drive


It’s time to gear back up for school to start in August!

Set To Thrive is partnering with school districts and local nonprofit agencies to provide over 300 foster and homeless kids in our community with new backpacks and school supplies! Each backpack will be filled with all the school supplies they need to feel prepared and confident when entering a new school year.
