Support a Child – BHcare’s Back-to-School Program

Help us ensure every child starts the school year with the tools they need to succeed!

Each year, BHcare provides backpacks, school supplies, and essential clothing to children impacted by domestic violence, mental health challenges, or substance use. With your support, we can help these children return to the classroom feeling prepared, confident, and cared for.

✨ Two Ways to Make a Difference:

🛍️ Be Matched with a Child
Sign up to shop for a child’s back-to-school needs!
We’ll send you a short list with their favorite colors and top 3 most-needed clothing items—like a new backpack, shoes, or a warm jacket.

📧 To be matched, email msimoni@bhcare.org

💛 Make a Donation
No time to shop? Make a financial gift and we’ll do the shopping for you!
