Back to School Supply Drive 2025
Help Us Ensure Our Achievers Have What they Need for a Successful School Year!
This year, Friends of the Children - Boston is partnering with organizations and companies across Greater Boston to fill 150 backpacks for our Achievers, making sure every child from kindergarten through high school has the supplies they need to thrive.
We invite businesses, teams, and community organizations to host their own supply drives, or sponsor fully stocked backpacks for our Achievers.
By organizing a drive at your workplace or making a corporate donation, you'll help ensure every child we mentor walks into school confident, prepared, and ready to thrive.
