Project: Back to School
Starting August 23rd, drop off your school supplies one of many locations throughout the city.
For a full list of drop-off sites click here.
August 23rd-September 17th 2010
Join us for the third annual Project: Back to School, and help many of New York's 15,000 homeless boys and girls get the school supplies they need to succeed.
Homelessness extracts a particularly heavy toll on kids. The inherent lack of stability causes many homeless children to fall behind in school. With your help, we can ensure that New York's neediest boys and girls are better prepared for the upcoming school year.
Ways that you can get involved:
- Start a school supply drive at your school or place of employment.
- Become a corporate sponsor.
- Raise money, which we can use to purchase additional school supplies.
- Buy a few extra school supplies and drop them off at any one of these locations.
- Make a one-time donation! Click here.
Get started by downloading our informational flyer and wish list today!
