Provide a School Backpack for a Refugee

The start of school can be stressful for anyone -- imagine what it’s like if you’ve just arrived to a new country and are starting school in a new language.

You can help a newly arrived refugee child by providing a new backpack filled with school supplies. Judea Reform is committed to helping 36 refugee students with a backpack for the beginning of school. For more info and to sign up, click here.  Sign-up July 11-July 25; Drop-off July 19-July 26

This year, we've separated out the graphing calculators for high school students, and the great news is they have all been pledged! This makes a high school backpack much more affordable to donate. Thanks to all who have already signed up!

For more information, please contact Celie Kaplan at celie.kaplan@gmail.com.
