Help Kids Make the Grade!

YMCA’s across the Greater Houston area are gearing up to provide school supplies for children in our communities. The children you help through this project will be filled with hope, joy and excitement as they start the school year. Your investment provides these children the opportunity to start school with the resources to be successful.

Many willing hearts are needed to assist with this project. Help the YMCA make a difference in the life of a child. Donate a backpack filled with school supplies and change a life!

Purchase a new backpack. Go to your local retail store and purchase a new backpack for an elementary or middle school aged child.
Buy school supplies and put them in the backpack. A list of recommended school supplies
Write a note of encouragement to the child and place it in the backpack.
Return completed backpacks to your local YMCA, Shoe Carnival or participating H-E-B locations between the dates of July 21st - August 14th.

Our children are hoping for it, our city is counting on it, and our future is depending on upon it...



So, will you join the YMCA of Greater Houston and our many partners to do the best we can to "make a miracle happen" in the life of a child.

*If you can’t donate a completed backpack you can drop off any school supplies at any of the YMCA’s in greater Houston or participating sponsor locations.
