This year, our goal is to fill over 1,300 backpacks for the children in our care and we need your help!
Each year, DePelchin Children’s Center sends our kids back to school with backpacks filled with the supplies they need to succeed.
Please consider hosting a school supply drive at your office, with your community group, or with family and friends. You can also use DePelchin’s Amazon Wish List to purchase supplies and have them shipped directly to our office.
Thank you for giving kids in foster care — and all our DePelchin children — the tools they need to thrive this coming school year.
Unable to host a drive or drop off supplies in person? No problem! Purchase supplies through our Amazon Wish List and have them delivered directly to DePelchin.
If you are interested in helping us in our School Supply Drive, you can easily sign up for a volunteer shift here.
In order to send all of our children back to school with the tools they need to succeed, all school supplies must be received by July 18. Our drop off location and hours are included below.
Please email Corrina Jimenez, Volunteer and Community Engagement Manager, at cjimenez@depelchin.org for any questions or to learn about volunteer opportunities.
