Realities For Children

No Child Forgotten

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.
