Back to School Drive is Here!

Housing Up’s Back to School Drive is well underway and this year, we want to ensure the students we serve have a chance to thrive in the classroom. With kids returning to in-person learning, we need your help in providing a backpack full of school supplies to each of our 1,400 students.

You can help support our students as they return to classrooms in the fall by making a monetary donation to our Drive. Please reach out to our Manager of Volunteer Programs & Community Engagement, Dillon Ficca, with any questions.

Thanks for helping make this school year a great one!

We’re excited to announce that St. Columba’s Episcopal Church will be our featured community partner at this year’s event! The St. Columba’s congregation has been instrumental in helping families navigate life during the pandemic and beyond. Learn more about St. Columba’s contributions by visiting our website and registering for LITC today. We can’t wait to share their story with you!
