Children’s Foundation of America has partnered with local businesses for their annual Back-to-School Supply Drive supporting foster children in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties.

The goal of the Back-to-School Drive is to supply 150 children with complete Back-to-School kits.

Items needed include: backpacks, pencil pouches, lunch boxes, pens, pencils, erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons, markers, colored pencils, construction paper, three-ring binders, lined paper, notebooks, folders and rulers.

All items collected will directly support children who have been placed into foster care due to abuse, neglect or abandonment.
