Tampa's Annual Backpack to School Supply Drive
Let's inspire a love for learning!
When kids have new school supplies of their own:
- Grades, classroom behavior, and engagement improve
- Self-esteem increases
- Attitudes toward school and learning strengthen
Let's get kids the tools they need to succeed! Donate to the Annual "Backpack to School" backpack drive.
