Behind the Backpack
We know that sending kids to school each year is expensive, and backpacks can be one of the priciest supplies! According to the National Retail Federation, families spend about $875* on school supplies. With one in six school aged children living in poverty, TCC wants to help alleviate some of the stress of back-to-school time and help your kids show up to their first day prepared, confident, and ready to do great things.
