Welcome!

Thanks for joining our mission to help 12,000 New York students succeed in school this year.

About the Campaign

Imagine the joy on a child's face when they receive a backpack filled with everything they need for school. With your monthly gift, you can make that moment happen over and over again. By committing to a small monthly donation, you’re not just giving supplies – you’re giving hope, confidence, and the chance for a brighter future.

This year, rising prices have made it even harder for families to provide the basics. Many who were able to afford supplies in the past may no longer be able to, which makes your support more critical than ever. By committing to a small monthly donation, you’re not just giving supplies – you’re giving hope, confidence, and the chance for a brighter future.
