Donate school supplies and change a child’s year.
When a child shows up on the first day of school with a sturdy backpack and the supplies they need, it changes everything—confidence, focus, and the feeling that someone cares.
Generous Hands is collecting back-to-school essentials to help local K–12 students start the year prepared. Your donation becomes a backpack filled with possibility—and a reminder to every student that our community is cheering them on.
