Back To School Fund

Back-to-School Support for Families in Need

For the past six years, We Have Stories has mobilized communities to uplift and support neighbors facing hardship. Last year, your generosity helped us provide book bags filled with school supplies to hundreds of students. This year, as families face soaring grocery costs and increasing economic strain, we believe the most urgent need is food on the table.

Our Goal

We aim to raise $30,000 to provide $100 grocery store gift cards for the families of 300 students from economically difficult backgrounds. These gift cards will give families the dignity and freedom to purchase the food they need most during the critical back-to-school season.

Your generous donation helps provide:

🍎 Nourishment for Families

• Fresh fruits and vegetables

• Bread, milk, and other daily staples

• Dinner ingredients and after-school meals

💵 Direct Relief and Dignity

• Gift cards empower families to make the best choices for their children

• Provides immediate relief from rising food insecurity

Why Your Support Matters

Back-to-school should be a time of excitement and possibility, not of stress over empty refrigerators. For many of the families we serve, the first day of school comes with impossible choices: school clothes or groceries, notebooks or a full pantry.

By contributing to this campaign, you are not just filling a cart. You are lifting the weight off a parent’s shoulders and making sure a child starts school with both supplies and the nutrition they need to thrive.

How You Can Help

❤️ Donate: Every $100 funds a gift card for one student’s family.

📢 Share: Amplify this mission by spreading the word and inviting others to give.

Last year, your support filled classrooms with backpacks and supplies. This year, let us fill homes with food and hope. Together, we can ensure that 300 students step into the new school year nourished, supported, and ready to succeed.
