School Supplies, Books, and Uniforms – All Year

BoF

 

Message from Capt. Cowen-Zanders of The Salvation Army

 

The Back to the Future Initiative unifies community partners, teachers, and local organizations to provide the tools necessary for children to succeed. Children who are prepared for school with supplies are more likely to attend, focus on learning, build positive relationships, and ultimately succeed in school and life. Many students lack adequate supplies, including uniforms for school. There are many local efforts in place. The Back to the Future Initiative is a coordinated effort by more than twenty organizations to attain more resources and reach more children. Greater coordination will help us to:

  • Ensure every student is equipped for success with school supplies, books, and uniforms.
  • Unify the existing efforts of community organizations and schools in order to leverage our expertise and resources.
  • Find additional resources and support from new partners and schools ready to join our initiative.

“As a member of the Back To The Future Initiative we are setting out to make sure all students start their school year off with the basic necessities of school supplies to execute learning. This collective work will not only help schools and students, but will assist in the financial burden that families experience around this time of the year.”  ~ Dr. Romules Durant
