Every year, ChicagoCAC sends kids back to school prepared with fresh backpacks stuffed with school supplies.
We want to set our children up for success and give their caregivers the gift of one less thing to worry about, and you can help make it happen.
Our 2024 Backpack Drive is on! ChicagoCAC provides ongoing support to children who have been victims of sexual abuse. Each year, we give new backpacks to around 500 clients and their siblings. By sending them to school with the right tools, we help kids succeed and give their caregivers one less thing to worry about — and YOU can help!
Items to Donate:
-
New backpacks
-
Target gift cards
This year, instead of school supplies, we are asking for in-kind donations of $25 gift cards to Target. Gift cards will allow parents and caregivers to purchase school supplies on their own that are best suited for their child’s learning needs.
All items must be received at 1240 S. Damen Ave, Chicago, by Friday, August 9th.
