Our backpack drive is here! Every year, Samaritan House provides backpacks filled with age-appropriate supplies to low-income children and teens in San Mateo County. Together, with your support, we’re able to send kids back to school, ready for a year of learning and success. Donations of any size are fully tax-deductible and provide an opportunity for children and teens to start the 2024-2025 school year with confidence!

Supporting the drive is simple! All you have to do is visit our drive page and purchase any of the stylish, brand-new backpacks. Alternatively, you can also click here to donate funds toward the purchase of a backpack kit. 

Help our littlest clients get ready for a year of school success. Together, we can make back to school a joyful time for all our neighbors in need!
