Remember the joy of picking out your new school supplies?
Every child should have the tools they need to face the school year with confidence. The Back-to-School Drive provides backpacks, school supplies and uniforms, so children experiencing abuse or neglect can walk into class prepared and on level with their peers.
You can make a difference.
How You Can Help
-
Organize a Supply Drive
Office or department drives are a great way to get your coworkers involved, or hold a drive with any group of friends… your book club, professional association, Sunday School class, soccer team, or scout troop…just to name a few!
-
Sponsor the Back-to-School Drive
As a Back-to-School Drive sponsor, you can help provide essential school supplies to children experiencing abuse and neglect while demonstrating your commitment to our community. Explore sponsorship opportunities and make a meaningful difference for Dallas County children.
-
Volunteer
Every successful Drive depends on caring volunteers. From sorting donations to preparing items for distribution, your time helps ensure children receive the support they need throughout the year.
-
Make a Donation
In-kind donations may be delivered to CPD’s Elmbrook facility or you can make a monetary donation, and we’ll happily do the shopping for you. Because of our bulk purchasing, every $1 donated is equal to $6 worth of school supplies!
If you have questions about our Back-to-School Drive or would like to get your company involved, please contact our Corporate Relations Director, Ashley Davis, for more information.
We ask that all supplies and donations be delivered to our Elmbrook location by Friday, August 28.
