Remove barriers to learning. Build bridges to success.

Back-to-school supply drive

For many children who live in under-resourced communities, back to school means more than pencils, paper and backpacks. It means back to basic resources — hygiene supplies, clothing closets, counseling services, and more.

When you donate to Children’s Home Society of Florida’s Annual Back-to-School Supply Drive, you break down barriers for kids so they can go to school ready to learn.

Most Requested Items

Lack of basic necessities. Depression. Homelessness. Barriers to learning come in many different forms.
