THE PB2S DIFFERENCE
ABOUT PROJECT BACK 2 SCHOOL
Project Back 2 School, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is committed to collecting new school supplies and financial contributions. We aim to assist underprivileged children and youth in our community. Collaborating with children, families, local school counselors from Central Bucks and Pennridge School Districts, and Bucks County Youth and Services, we strive to guarantee that every student starts the school year ready and self-assured, with all the essential supplies needed throughout the year, regardless of their personal situation or circumstances.
School can present various challenges for children. The demands of homework, punctuality, daily commutes, and the stigma associated with homelessness, residing in shelters, or facing temporary difficulties can be significant burdens.​ Research indicates that children who are well-prepared exhibit better performance and increased confidence in school. PB2S aims to offer these opportunities and a sense of normalcy. It is essential that no child feels ashamed to request a pencil or other school supplies in class. Numerous families in Bucks County face financial challenges and are unable to manage the escalating yearly costs of school supplies for their children.
​
THE PB2S DIFFERENCE
What sets us apart from other backpack drives is our commitment to providing a unique experience. We aim to replicate the back-to-school shopping experience as closely as possible. Often, children in need lack the privilege or opportunity to shop for their own supplies, choose their favorite colors, or select styles that they like. Our goal is to offer these children a special experience that allows them to begin the school year with confidence, preparedness, and motivation. We organize all donations into clear bins or boxes, creating a "shopping" environment for our clients, whether it's in person, via email, or through text. The level of experience and attention to personal detail remains consistent. Our mission is to instill hope and excitement in each child, ensuring they start the school year with a sense of confidence and readiness. At PB2S, we recognize that children want to fit in and be indistinguishable from their peers. Therefore, we provide only NEW backpacks and school supplies from current, well-known brands.

OUR SUPPLY DRIVE
The "Project Back 2 School Supply Drive" plays a vital role in equipping our students for a successful academic year. Many families in our community face difficulties in providing their children with these essential supplies. By working together, we can fulfill these needs and eliminate obstacles to each student's academic success.
​
Project Back 2 School depends on donations, sponsorships, and the help of local volunteers to ensure success each year. We are dedicated to effecting change. Providing a new backpack, fresh school supplies, and essential school items can significantly impact a student's life. It's our belief that every student deserves a positive start to the new school year and throughout the year, no matter their personal circumstances.
