Story
According to the National Retail Federation, total back-to-school spending for families with children in elementary through high school is expected to reach an all-time high in their survey's history. These costs can pose a huge risk to the financial stability of families. Raphael House needs the support of our community to help our students start the school year prepared and confident!
Low-income families living paycheck-to-paycheck must prioritize essentials like rent, groceries, and health care expenses, and often struggle to purchase school supplies. The COVID-19 pandemic has only exacerbated those obstacles and the effects continue to be felt throughout our community. Raphael Houses annual Back-To-School Drive provides children with supplies to succeed in school and allows parents to focus on maintaining their financial stability.
Please donate to help us make an impact and ensure that Raphael House can provide 200 students with backpacks and school supplies!
