Back to SchooL Collection
JUNE 14-July 20, 2023
Every child deserves to feel prepared and confident walking into school. This donation-driven program helps ensure that local children who have faced abuse, neglect or are at-risk receive the school supplies they need to succeed.
Every year, local Businesses and Business Members of Realities For Children work to provide new backpacks stuffed with school supplies to hundreds of local children in need.
How can you help?
Want to get involved in a bigger way? To become a 2023 collection location, please contact Erin Myrtle.
Supplies can be dropped off at our office (308 East County Road 30, Fort Collins, CO 80525).
For just $75, you can sponsor a backpack stuffed with brand new school supplies for a child in need.
