Can you donate $30 to help a child impacted by domestic violence start school with a back pack full of everything they need?
Being a kid can be tough. Can you help us help these deserving Little Friends stand out for all the right reasons this school year?
For every $30 raised, we purchase a backpack, and fill it.
