THE BACK TO SCHOOL WITH PRIDE PROJECT

The Back to School Pride Project provides book bags and school supplies for children involved with the Guardian ad Litem program and with Wake County Human Services.

Friends of Wake County GAL started The Back to School Pride Project to give children hope, to ensure that they have a positive start at school, and to help them to maintain their own sense of hope and excitement about the first day of school.

The Treasure Box Project provides beautifully decorated small wood chests to children entering foster care.  The children can carry the chests with them and use them to hold and protect their precious items. 

The chests are filled with toiletries and other items to soften the transition for children who are leaving their homes under great stress and arriving at unfamiliar places.
