Fill-A-PACK SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE
Did you know over 84% of LAUSD families live at or below the poverty line? Many students begin the school year without the supplies they need to succeed. You can help make a difference.
Starting July 13, pick up a backpack from campus (while supplies last), shop for the school supplies listed on the flyer inside, and return your filled backpack to Bel Air Church.
Backpacks for Family Rescue Center are due Sunday, July 20
Backpacks for Hope Gardens Family Center are due Sunday, July 27
Every backpack will help equip a student with the tools—and confidence—they need for the year ahead. Let’s come together to care for these children in our city.
