According to a December 4, 2011 article in the San Francisco Chronicle, "in the [San Francisco's] public schools, there are 2,200 homeless children, some in shelters, others in cars, or on couches, or in long-term hotel rooms. That's 400 more homeless children than a year ago."
We hope you’ll join school groups, interfaith groups and others in our backpack drive. Backpacks will be distributed at our July 27th Family Connect.
How you can help:
- Purchase one or more backpacks and the supplies needed for one student (we’ll send you the list of supplies after you sign up below)
- Label the back pack with the grade and sex it’s intended for
- Deliver the backpack to Project Homeless Connect or one of our drop off locations around the Bay Area (we’ll send you information about delivery after you sign up below)
- Sign up to help now and we’ll send you supply lists for the grades we still need backpacks for. Click here to sign up.
Thank you: Sports Basement for supporting our backpack drive by offering a 10% discount to customers who mention Project Homeless Connect
