More than a backpack

...

Lee Marshall

Founder / CEO Kids to Love Foundation T There’s a lot of unknown surrounding school next year.

We don’t know what learning will look like in the midst of a prolonged pandemic. One thing

I do know is that whether learning happens at home or in a classroom, children in foster care will have the supplies they need.

With the help of amazing community partnerships and people like you, Kids to Love’s service to foster children and families has not slowed, despite the shutdown caused by Coronavirus.

Our “More than a Backpack” outreach is happening right now. This program provides new backpacks and school supplies to thousands of foster children each year.

We call it “More than a Backpack” because of the intangible benefits the backpack brings to children in foster care. Not only do they unzip pencils and notebooks to help them do well in class, they find confidence, acceptance, and success to make it through life.

This year, we will add “normal” to that list of intangibles, or at least as much normal as we can control.

If you’d like to support education for a child in foster care, visit www.kidstolove.org. You can make an online donation and you’ll also find a list of school supplies we need most.

Backpacks are one of the most important pieces to this program because we know it’s way “More than a Backpack.”
