Every child should be prepared for class
Cornerstones is looking to equip over 2,700 K-12 children in the Reston-Herndon area (Cornerstones’ clients, as well as other local students in need) with brand-new backpacks for the 2019-2020 academic year. We will also be accepting donations new socks and underwear, as well as $25 gift cards to Target and Walmart to help with a purchase of new shoes for the school year. Help our youngest neighbors achieve academic success!
What can I do to help?
Join us for our Back 2 School Bash 2019!
Register here to pledge the number of backpacks you plan to donate.
Purchase new backpacks (no wheels or corporate logos, please):
