Back to school drive

Make Back to School a Celebration!

Support West End House’s “Dawnn for Peace” Marathon Team

We have selected 5 passionate individuals to join our “Dawnn for Peace” Marathon Team and represent our mission. Please support their efforts today!

While summer has just begun, it’s also that time of year when we think about making sure our young people and their families have all the resources they need to head back to school in the fall. This year, we are asking our supporters and alumni community to contribute to our Backpack Drive. With your help, we can ensure that each student receives the following school supplies this summer, in preparation for the upcoming school year:

  • Backpack
  • Spiral and composition notebooks
  • 3-ring binder and filler paper
  • Pocket folders
  • Medium point pens
  • Pencil case, #2 pencils, colored pencils, pencil sharpener, and erasers
  • Crayons, markers, and highlighters
  • Scissors
  • Glue sticks
  • Ruler
  • Calculator

Our goal is to fund 150 backpacks full of school supplies by August 31st 

Every contribution helps our youth feel ready and empowered to take on another school year.

Thank you for your support!
