It takes a village.

Together we can send 8,000 students back to school with the supplies they need to learn and thrive. This initiative supports K-12 students each year in districts and schools across the Greater Kansas City Metro. Since 2017, the Love Fund and the KC community have united to provide backpacks and supplies to over 30,000 students.

There are three ways to help: volunteer, donate and support community partners.

$25 - Sponsors 1 student

$50 - Sponsors 2 students

$100 - Sponsors 4 students

$200 -Sponsors 8 students
