Your Partnership + Care for the Homeless = Success! 30,000+ school supplies were donated to our Back to School Drive, not only did you fill a back pack but you filled a high need!  There are over 80,000 homeless school children in New York City, and thanks to you they are prepared for the 2014-2015 academic year.  A very, very special thanks goes out to the employees at West Side Foods for donating 22 boxes of school supplies, 4 Kids in Need for a fun back to school event, the Institute for Family Health for their continuous partnership, and YOU our extraordinary supporters!  We are HONORED to count all of you among our generous sponsors, see you next year!  See more photos of our Back to School Drive supporters and the children after the jump.

It's time to empower a homeless child through education!

Special Thanks to West Side Foods: Employees of West Side Foods, located in the Bronx, led the Back to School Drive in 2012 collecting and filling over 100 new book bags for homeless children. Owner Tom Ryan says: "I'm so proud of our team. As soon as we put the poster up in our employee break room, everyone stepped up. We organized our drive by asking for small donations of $5, which added up quickly to help us fill over 100 new book bags for the kids. Care for the Homeless is a great cause, and we're looking forward to this year's drive." Join us and change a child's life! Download the poster HERE.
