For kids experiencing foster care, Back to School isn't just a fresh start — it's often another disruption. New school. New routine. No guarantee of support.
Statistically, the outcomes reflect it. Less than 50% will graduate high school.
But through programs like Love Box® and Dare to Dream®, with consistency and support, everything changes — along with those statistics.

The Experience
Our Back to School experience is more than supplies.
By creating a joyful, dignity-filled Back to School celebration at our Foster Care Community Center, we give kids and families the opportunity to choose what they need and step into the new year with a sense of belonging and excitement. Caregivers receive gift cards for every child in their home so they can start the year with confidence. And for a day, it feels normal – fun, exciting, hopeful.
Join us Saturday, July 25th from 10AM - 3PM
