Every Child Deserves a Strong Start 

Every child deserves a strong start to their school year! 
Every child deserves to begin the school year ready to learn. A stable home, nutritious food, properly fitting clothing, and the right school supplies help children arrive at school with confidence and the opportunity to succeed. 
For many families in Montgomery County, however, rising costs are making it harder to afford these essentials. As parents work to balance housing, food, transportation, childcare, and other everyday expenses, back-to-school shopping can become an overwhelming financial burden. 
You can help change that. 
Your gift will provide more than 3,000 children with the opportunity to choose a new backpack, fill it with age-appropriate school supplies, and give them the confidence to walk into the classroom prepared for success. Just as importantly, your support connects families with the resources they need to build the stability every child deserves. 

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 for a strong start. 
Give today and help a child start the school year ready to learn, grow, and thrive.
