8th Annual Backpacks Of Love Campaign!

Our 8th annual Backpacks of Love drive is underway, and we need your help to reach every child. Our goal is to make sure 1,000 children living in local shelters and supportive housing start the school year with everything they need to succeed.

For a lot of these kids, the first day already comes with enough uncertainty. A backpack of their own is one thing they will not have to worry about. It is something that is fully theirs, and it tells them they belong in that classroom just like everyone else.

With your gift, each child receives a sturdy, high-quality backpack filled with the essentials: pencils, notebooks, crayons, folders, and more. 🎒✏️📚📝

Why it matters:

📊 More than 60% of San Francisco public school students come from low-income families, leaving thousands at risk of starting the year without basic supplies.* *SFhip

💡 A backpack can spark self-esteem, focus, and hope, the things every student needs to succeed.

🔸 Our goal: $40,000 to fill 1,000 backpacks.

🔸 The impact: $40 fills one backpack and sends one child to school ready to learn.

The new school year is almost here. Will you help us fill a backpack, and a child's heart, with hope today?
