Our 2025 Back to School Drive is Underway!
ChicagoCAC provides ongoing support to children and families impacted by abuse and violence. Each year, we distribute brand-new backpacks, school supplies, and other back-to-school items to 500 children and their siblings. By sending kids to school with the right tools, we help them succeed and give their caregivers one less thing to worry about.
You can make a difference. Join us in helping every child start the school year strong!
