Educational Equity is Our Mission.
We are on a mission to ensure every child walks into the classroom ready to win. Mission: Back to School is a dedicated initiative designed to eliminate barriers to education by providing Southeast Texas students with the exact resources, confidence, and gear they need to thrive from day one.
About the Program.
Starting a new school year shouldn't be defined by financial stress. Mission: Back to School steps into the gap for families across Port Arthur, Beaumont, and the greater SETX area. By working together with local partners, we pull together essential supplies to ensure our community's youth walk into their schools equipped, empowered, and ready to succeed.
What We Offer.
• Daily Essentials*:
High-quality school supplies and essential hygiene items.
• Wardrobe Basics:
Socks, brand-new undergarments, and uniforms
• The Core Support Track:
Access to school uniforms and a brand-new pair of tennis shoes to step into the year with pride.
*School supplies and essentials are available to all students and are first-come, first-served.
