C4K's 28th annual Good Start Back to School project held in August for the 2023-24 school year helps around 2000 specific students from low-income families in the Bellevue School District with backpacks plus school supplies for home use. These students' backgrounds vary. Some are refugees from Ukraine or violence in other countries; some are escaping domestic violence; some are homeless. All are experiencing poverty. These backpacks and school supplies give them a lifeline to normalcy.
Congregations for Kids, a coalition of local congregations, helps students from low income families within the Bellevue, Washington School District have a Good Start Back to School. Partnering with the school district, Eastside businesses, and community organizations, we equip these students with backpacks and supplies needed for the school year.
