MCCH’s annual Back to School Fair ensures that the 234 children in our supportive housing programs start the school year with a brand-new backpack filled with essential school supplies.
From pre-K to high school, your donations help kids feel confident and ready to learn.
How to help:
• Donate backpacks with supplies and/or $50 gift cards for school shoes
• Host a Backpack Stuffing Event at your company
• Volunteer on 8/12 or 8/14
• Sponsor the 2025 Back to School Fair
Join our team of Back to School Sponsors and demonstrate your commitment to educational success and housing stability by helping secure critical resources for children in our programs.
MCCH is seeking 6 $1000 sponsorships this year. Funds from sponsorships will also help host an in person Back to School Fair at Bohrer Park Activity Center in Gaithersburg.
