Back To School Donations Desperately Needed

Hi all! Its back to school time in South Cali and there are so many kids, schools & organizations that need our help in order to provide local children the resources for making a better tomorrow. Help us empower the future by donation a filled backpack, just supplies or even a cash donation.

Back to school means school supplies and book bag purchases. For many families this is an added burden on top of school shoes, clothes and registration fees. We at San Felipe want to help ease that stress. We are collecting supplies and backpacks for deserving families in our area by partnering with local homeless shelters and community outreach groups. Our goal is to have 30
supply laden backpacks by the start of school. Please help us as we assist those in greatest need. You can purchase supplies and mail them to us, or make a donation on our website. Thank you for your continued support!
