For businesses and community groups
Partner with us
Most of what we hand to families was given to us by a business.
That is not a fallback model — it is how this organization has worked for nineteen years, and it is why a small nonprofit can put more than a hundred backpacks in children's hands in a single morning.
Most useful
What we need most
Grocery gift cards
The single most useful thing a company can give us. Cards let us buy exactly what is short in the days before a distribution, instead of sorting through what was left over.
Bulk school supplies
Notebooks, pencils, folders, backpacks. If you can buy at wholesale, you can multiply what we do.
Food and pet supplies
Shelf-stable staples for November; food, blankets and bedding for the shelters year-round.
Space and services
Somewhere to hold a distribution, transport, printing, storage. A venue turns a supply pickup into an afternoon children actually remember — and for a business with a room standing empty on a Saturday, it costs almost nothing to give.
Sponsorship
Ways to partner
Community Partner
In-kind gifts of any size
Your name listed on this page. A prompt acknowledgement letter for your records.
Supporting Partner
$500, in cash or goods
Name and logo on this page and in our event materials. Photographs from the day.
Event Partner
$1,500
All of the above, plus your logo on distribution-day signage and a mention in any press coverage. Your team is welcome to join us and volunteer on the day.
Presenting Partner
$3,000, one per event
Your name alongside ours: "Back to School, presented by [your company]." Logo on all event materials, signage and this website. Photographs from the day, and a written summary of exactly what your contribution delivered — families served, children equipped — suitable for your own community reporting.
Match our donors
If your business would rather multiply what others give, we will run your gift as a match: "the first $1,000 is matched by [your company]." Matched appeals consistently raise more than either gift alone, and your name sits on every ask.
In return
What you get
A tax-deductible contribution to a 501(c)(3) with nineteen years of operating history. Your name and logo on this website and in our event materials. Photographs from the day. And a straightforward acknowledgement letter for your records, sent promptly.
