Juanita Kelly Foundation believes that every child deserves to start his or her first day of class fully equipped to learn. With the support of caring community members, our annual Back to School Drive provides essential supplies for children in need. We are dedicated to preparing kids for their academic futures. With your help together we will work to donate backpacks and supplies directly to needy students.
Starting August 1, we are collecting new backpacks and school supplies for children ages Kindergarten through 6th grade for the 2014-15 academic year. We unfortunately cannot accept backpacks that are used, have wheels, or have corporate logos on them.
In order to help these children put their best foot forward on the first day of school, we are also collecting $10 gift cards for Payless Shoe Source, as well as $10 gift for Supercuts.
