How the Back-to-School Drive Works

Host companies, groups, organizations or schools display our colorful posters attractively decorated with cards listing needed school supplies. Individuals have two ways to participate: shop for a new backpack and fill it with recommended school supplies or provide funds either by mail, phone, or online and we purchase the items instead. In August, we collect and sort the backpacks, then distribute them to low-income students via teachers and social service agencies in our community. There are many benefits to being a host, and it's easy to sponsor the program...find out how you can help!

 “At Hamilton, we strongly believe that children need and deserve this type of additional support, while their parents are working towards independence and self-sufficiency. Education can help break the cycle of poverty. Your gift helps make school an exciting and worthwhile place to be. Thank you again for supporting the Hamilton Family Center as we assist homeless families in San Francisco work to escape the cycle of homelessness.”

Salvador Menjivar, Executive Director
