Every year, United Way Bay Area hosts a Back-To-School drive to gather essential backpacks and school supplies to help prepare youth who can’t afford them for the new school year. With your help, we are aiming to donate 4,000 backpacks with new school supplies to Bay Area youth and schools that need them.
For every $30 you donate, one youth will return to school fully equipped and on a pathway to success!
