Help ensure our youth and their siblings start the school year off right by providing them with the supplies they need to succeed. Having a full backpack is about so much more than school success. These supplies cultivate a child's appetite for learning and nurture their sense of belonging. Imagine the possibilities these materials will provide for our youth. You can make them happen! Make a monetary contribution below or contact Angel Johnson, Family and Community Engagement Specialist, at ajohnson@friendschicago.org to sponsor a family and purchase supplies. Search
