Our Backpack Drive on Spectrum News/NY1: Organization Seeks Donations for Annual NYC Backpack Drive
We are collecting donations for our annual backpack drive through Friday, September 30. Please donate today so that we can purchase and distribute as many backpacks before the first day of school as possible.
For any questions, please reach out to our team at fundraising@childcenterny.org or by calling 718-747-4398.

Back-to-school supplies cost nearly $100 per child in New York City. For kids and families who live at or near the poverty line, the first day of school can be overshadowed by the stress of not having the resources to purchase the proper school supplies. With your support, this doesn’t have to be their reality.
We are excited to partner with High Water Women and Sydney Paige to provide our students with quality backpacks and full sets of school supplies.
Please help our students start the school year on the right foot by sponsoring backpack and school supply kit(s) today! Every dollar you give goes toward providing a fully stocked backpack to a child in need.
