We did it! We helped Remove Barriers!
The Foundation is thrilled to have hosted another successful Backpacks for Kids School Supply Drive, supporting Northshore students in need. For the past five years, we’ve proudly led this effort, and each year, we’re more inspired by the community’s dedication.
Your generosity has made a significant impact, ensuring that many students are equipped for success this school year. Thanks to your support, we’ve provided over 730 backpacks filled with essential school supplies to Northshore students in need.
Thank you for being a part of this important effort. Your contributions truly made a difference!

We want to remove barriers in education for Northshore students, year-round.
Backpacks for Kids Supply Drive is one program under our Removing Barriers pillar. Other programs include: Opportunity Fund, Basic Needs Aid, Homelessness Services, and Student Meals.
Barriers in education come in many forms and the Northshore Schools Foundation believes that all students deserve the opportunity to achieve academic growth regardless of their abilities, learning style, cultural background or economic circumstances. We continuously work year round on all Removing Barrier’s programs.
