Why It Matters
School supplies can be a real financial burden for families already working hard to make ends meet. When children lack the basics—backpacks, notebooks, pencils, and more—they may feel unprepared before the first bell even rings.
Monique-A-Wish steps in so every child can start the year feeling prepared, confident, and cared for. A filled backpack is more than supplies—it is a message that their community believes in them.
