Smiles for School

Project Overview:

Smiles For School is a Kids Helping Kids elementary project for students entering grades 1-5 who would like to help assemble back-to-school backpacks and school supplies for low-income families.

Project History

This is a project that was started by a 1st grader, Conor, who wanted to help other kids that could not get their own school supplies. Our team will work hard to personalize special items for back to school and then fill backpacks with all the needed school supplies for elementary-aged kids who qualify for free or reduced lunch.
