According to the National Retail Federation, the average family spends $98 on school supplies per child each year. For families already struggling financially, preparing children for the school year can be a heavy financial burden.

Don Bosco's Project Yes school supply drive helps to carry some of that burden by providing free supplies, backpacks and school uniforms to families in need. Last year, Project Yes was able to provide these items for nearly 1,800 children and youth. Special thanks to our 2009 donors! We couldn't do it without you!

Please consider conducting a school supply drive at your company, church, organization, or other group during the summer months. In addition, cash donations are accepted for Project Yes and will be used to support the project, including purchasing additional supplies, backpacks and/or school uniforms. This project is a great opportunity for you to give back in a tangible and meaningful way!
