In partnership with School District 42, we distribute school supplies to over 400 students each September. We feel that providing these items for students give them the ability to start the school year off on the right foot to focus on learning and their future success!

Back to School clients come from a variety of backgrounds, including:

  • Children of single mothers or single fathers
  • Children of working families trying to make ends meet
  • Children of seniors with custody of their grandchildren
  • Children of new immigrant families

Back to School supplies pack registration is now closed.
Information for the 2025-2026 school year will be released in late-spring of 2025.

For support from our community services advocate, please reach out to our program manager, Corina.
