Back to School Drive

Back to School is one of our biggest family advocacy programs here at the Gingerbread House. We want to make sure that each child goes back to school in the fall prepared and excited to start the new year with all the supplies needed to do well in their classes. In 2023, we provided backpacks, lunch boxes, and school supplies for 47 children returning to school. This is thanks to our amazing supporters who donated school supplies or monetary donations towards the program.
