Back-to-School Program

Our neighborhood children deserve the opportunity to start the school year with the basic tools for a good education. VEAP's Back-to-School Program provides every child with a bag of basic school supplies plus a backpack filled with school supplies. Our statistics show the need for this program growing year after year.

Make a real difference in a child's education: 

• Donate school supplies (see Wish List below)
• Sponsor a child with donated dollars ($35 suggested amount)
• All donations must be NEW items. Due to health regulations, VEAP cannot receive or distribute used items.
