Education of ALL students in our community is essential for St. Louis, Missouri’s future. Forward progress is only made possible when our own are given the tools and materials to learn to the highest extent possible. May underprivileged students in our community don’t have the means to purchase the proper school supplies for class. In many instances, a child’s home situation or other factors prevent them from going to school with the tools that they need to succeed. That’s where Backpacks For Success comes in. Every year we supply dozens of students in the St. Louis community with backpacks, these backpacks are “packed for success” with pencils, erasers, markers, crayons, and other tools to help each student succeed. Backpacks “packed for success” are distributed to numerous school and areas in the community. We envision a future where no student in the St. Louis community goes to school without a backpack that is packed full of tools intended to set them up for success. With the generous donations of STL area residents, grants, community & business partners we are able to help hundreds of local kids, every year.
