2026 Back to School Photo Gallery

Picture the first day of school. Some kids walk in with a brand-new backpack and shoes— everything they need. Others walk in hoping no one notices what they don’t have. That gap between showing up ready and showing up worried is what our Back-to-School Backpack Program closes.

This year, we gave 200 kids in Marin that same feeling of walking in prepared: a fully stocked backpack, and a $100 Target gift card so parents can choose the clothes and shoes their child actually needs.

It costs $150 to fully support one child. Your donation—of any amount—brings dignity, joy, and relief to a struggling family.
