Each year, the WJCS Back-to-School Drive provides hundreds of new backpacks, school supplies, and gift cards to families in need in WJCS programs. They include our four mental health clinics and early childhood development, after-school enrichment, digital skill building, and LGBTQ+ youth programs.

By supporting the WJCS Back-to-School Drive, you help to ensure a great start to the new school year for these youth. Children age 11 and under will receive a new backpack (filled with new supplies) and a $25 gift card to purchase new school year essentials. Children age 12 and older receive a $40 gift card for specialized school supplies or a new first day of school outfit.
