Congregations
for
Kids

Donate items through your participating congregation or organization during the Good Start Back To School drive 
Only 2 items Needed/Requested in 2024
(All backpacks donated should be new)

* Sturdy Backpacks for all grade levels, no slings or wheels; padded backs for 4th through high school; large size for middle and high school, with laptop compartments; solid colors (no red) for HS.

* Monetary Donations. These purchased school supplies for home use, picture dictionaries for kindergartners, and the backpacks needed in addition to those donated.  School supplies for home use for all grade levels are available for requested students in their school Family Connections Centers.  Picture dictionaries were put in every requested kindergarten backpack, including Spanish-English and Mandarin-English in the dual language schools.  Twenty five cases of backpacks were purchased to fill the requests.

Checks may be made out to your congregation/organization and clearly marked "Back to School" or "Congregations for Kids" or made out directly to "Congregations for Kids/EISCC."  Either give checks to your congregation/organization's contact person for C4K or mail them to the address on the "Donate" page.  Donations may also be made online; see "Donate" page.

Thank you for your help.
