Educating Children Impacted by Homelessness

Backpack and School Supply Drive

Before children can be confident in school, they need to look and feel like a student prepared for learning. School on Wheels provides students with the tools they need for success in the classroom.

Each child is given a brand new unique backpack with supplies packed by volunteers based on the child’s age, gender and interests. Additional supplies are available throughout the year for school projects and classroom activities.
