Every Child Deserves a Strong Start
A backpack is just the beginning.
Every child deserves to begin the school year ready to learn. But for many families in Montgomery County, rising costs make even the basics difficult to afford. Beyond backpacks and school supplies, children need nutritious food, properly fitting clothing, and a stable foundation to start the year with confidence.
Your gift makes that possible.
Your gift opens doors to opportunities:
Your gift provides more than 3,000 children with the essentials they need to start the school year with confidence, learn with focus, and reach their full potential.
"Starting school without the things you need can be a self-esteem crusher. A backpack is important, but it's just the beginning. When we support the whole family, children are better able to focus and succeed in school."
— Debra Munk, Retired MCPS Teacher and Principal & Interfaith Works Board Member
Together, we're doing more than preparing children for the first day of school. We're helping families build stability, so every child has the opportunity to get off to a strong start.
Give today and help a child start the school year ready to learn, grow, and thrive.
