Please help children served by the Children’s Aid Society to start the school year in a positive way! Each summer we collect backpacks and school supplies to equip our children in grades pre-K through 12 that are living in our Children’s Home and Teen Shelter.
With the challenges our children face, it’s important for them to have a positive back-to-school experience just like other kids. Starting the first day of school with a new backpack filled with the right tools is an important first step. We welcome your support to help provide pens, pencils, notebooks and supplies children need to start the school year off right.
There are four ways you can help:
1) Make a tax-deductible donation to the Children’s Aid Society of West Texas Inc. to be used toward the purchase of school supplies;
