From Summer Camp to the Classroom
Supporting Low-Income Household Children
At GFoundation, we walk alongside children from low-income households all year long with our trusted local partners. Now, we’re helping them take the next step with the tools they need for a successful school year.
Starting a new school year is exciting, but for many children from low-income households, because of economic challenges, purchasing basic school supplies can be difficult.
A backpack, notebooks, pencils, and other classroom essentials may seem small, but they help children feel prepared, included, and ready to learn from the very first day.
