Sponsorship

		So many ways to participate! 1. Make a monetary donation to help fund the Back-to-School Drive In the Greater Bay Area, 212,695 children qualify for the California Free or Reduced Lunch Program (Title I). At-Risk children who start the year off prepared are more likely to be confident and feel included in the community, which in turn helps them to learn. This is not just a giveaway; it is an investement in the future of these children and consequently our communities. An additional benefit is that most of us would like to lend a hand but feel powerless to do much. This program allows us to positively impact deserving individual children. Donate now, and help us make a difference! 2. Buy a backpack through our online store! Through the Family Giving Tree's Back-to-School Drive Online Store, you can help by providing these low income children with a new backpack containing tools they need to succeed! Just select a backpack from the list and add it to your cart. Once you've purchased the backpack, we'll make sure it goes to a child in need! Items purchased through our online store will be shipped directly to our processing warehouse. Our elves will sort and distribute these in August to low-income children throughout the Bay Area!
