Back to School Support: How You're Helping Students Succeed

Supporting Our Community This School Year

Your generosity creates possibilities

As pencils sharpen and backpacks fill, a new school year brings fresh opportunities for the students we serve. Your continued support makes it possible for these determined individuals to focus on education while maintaining dignity through essential hygiene supplies.

Impact: By the Numbers

Thanks to our incredible supporters, we've distributed 299 hygiene care packages to parents, college students, and in the community throughout Raleigh, Garner, Knightdale, Wendell, Zebulon, Apex, Morrisville, Smithfield, Clayton, Durham, and Fayetteville this year. Each package contained various essentials like menstrual products, deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, and soap - items that many take for granted but can be financially out of reach for struggling students and parents. We've also donated items to 2 local organizations.

4 Simple Ways to Make a Difference This Season

• Host a hygiene product collection drive at your workplace, faith community, or neighborhood. Every bottle of detergent or pack of pads creates real impact.

• Volunteer at our community events (TBA). Just two hours helps us distribute dozens of care packages to families in need.

• Purchase items from our wish lists (Walmart or Amazon)

• Become a monthly donor - even $15 provides consistent support that helps us plan and grow our reach to more students in need.

What's Coming This Fall

Mark your calendars for our Campus Distribution Event on November 20th from noon to 3PM at Fayetteville State University. We'll be providing care packages for 150+ students and staff during the Fall De-Stress Fest. We need volunteers for setup & distribution assistance during the event. Interested?

Together, we're making education more accessible

As the school year continues, remember that your support - whether through donations, volunteering, or simply sharing our mission - creates ripples of positive change throughout our community. Students shouldn't have to choose between personal dignity and education. Thanks for helping ensure they never have to make that choice.
