Copy of Website Banner Back to School 2

As we gear up to return to school, The Children’s Home announces our “Back to School Drive.”  With three different ways to give, we’ve made it simple for you to support our middle and high school residents. Continue scrolling to see the complete list of needed items.

Will you join us in ensuring that the kids in our care have the tools they need to SHINE when they return to school?

Contribute Funds

Your contribution will be combined with others’ to purchase needed supplies in bulk.  This helps us stretch every dollar just a little further, and helps us make sure the kids in our care have all they need to succeed.
