Buy a Backpack

For the past 95 years, the Empty Stocking Fund has been committed to bringing joy to the lives of disadvantaged Atlanta children at Christmas. Now, we’re also helping kids who lack access to essential school supplies. We need your help to provide 30,000 elementary, middle, and high school students with the supplies they need to start the school year equipped and prepared to succeed.

As inflation increases, so do the costs of essentials like groceries, gas, and housing – further impacting families who were already struggling to make ends meet. It’s critical to get supplies into the hands of these young boys and girls… so they don’t fall behind before the school year even begins!

Every $20 you donate will provide a brand new backpack filled with $60 worth of school supplies for a local boy or girl headed back to school this school year!
