Back-To-School Program: Backpacks, Buns, And Burgers
The Kay Morris Foundation (KMF) Back-to-School BBQ & Backpack Drive
The Mission:
The back-to-school season should be a time of excitement, not anxiety. However, a recent Leger poll reveals that 63% of parents are feeling a significant financial strain this year, with 60% reporting a spike in supply costs.
The Kay Morris Foundation through our Tools 2 Learn program is committed to ensuring students in our marginalized communities start the school year with the tools and confidence they need to learn and succeed. We believe education is the foundation of our future. Our goal for this Back-to-School Backpack BBQ, is to send 300+ students back to class with a fun fill day and full backpacks.
To support students and their families, we are hosting a Community Back-to-School Backpack & School Supplies BBQ Drive. At the Kay Morris Foundation (KMF), we believe every child deserves to walk into the classroom feeling confident and equipped with the tools they need to learn. During these challenging times, many families in our community are facing financial strain, making it difficult to prepare their children for a successful start for the school year.
Event Highlights for Families:
- Free BBQ Lunch: A fun, community-focused meal of free burgers, hot-dogs, and non-alcoholic beverages will be served; as well as music, entertainment, and games.
- School Supply Giveaways: Backpacks, notebooks, pens/pencils, and essential stationery.
- Community Connection: An opportunity for families to meet and kick off the year on a high note.
Our Goal Is: To bridge the gap for marginalized families who may be struggling with the rising costs of school preparations.
