Donate School Supplies to Local Homeless and Foster Children

Fill a Heart 4 Kids(FAH4K)is hard at work on one of their biggest fundraising events of the year – collecting school supplies for 1,350 local unaccompanied homeless youth and foster children.

Many children are afraid to go to school because they don’t have families to buy them school supplies. You can help a child start school prepared and ready to learn by donating to Project Smart today!
FAH4K is hosting pop-up stores at several foster child facilities and homeless shelters, to give children a chance to experience to choose their school supplies. It gets them excited to begin the school year, just like their classmates. To sponsor a Project Smart backpack, PLEASE make a financial donation to FAH4K at www.fillaheart4kids.org. Filled backpacks range from $35-$50, based on the age of the child.
