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 consistnecy and support, everything changes — along with those statistics.

The Experience
Our Back to School experience is more than supplies.
It’s a moment of dignity, joy, and belonging. Kids choose what they need. 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.
