Back-to-School
Getting ready for the new school year is not only emotionally difficult, but financially tough as well, especially for the children of CPS. Going to school is even more stressful for these students, because most of them do not have a family and some have been in foster homes for their entire lives. With the hard work of our volunteers, many of the children will start school for the first time in their life with new clothes, shoes that fit, and the appropriate school supplies. Not only that, but they will look great too!

BEAR Back-to-School provides two brand new uniforms and school supplies to over 4,000 abused and neglected children in Harris County.

Volunteers are needed annually during the months of June and July to help sort and package uniforms, school supplies, shoes and hygiene items.

BEAR also hosts an annual BEAR Back-to-School Party. For more information on the BEAR Back to School Program, contact Jessica at 713-940-3087.

Volunteers must be 18 years of age or older, and must have a criminal background check completed by BEAR prior to volunteering for this event.
