Back to School
Together we can give 500 children and 60 teachers the strong start to the school year they deserve!
In 2024, the average annual income for a Britepaths client was $17,745, far below the
Federal Poverty Level of $26,650 for a family
of three. Many families in our community cannot afford to buy school supplies without sacrificing day-to-day essentials.
A gift of just $40 provides one local student with a new backpack and a complete, grade-appropriate school supply kit.

How Your Donation Helps Northern Virginia Students (and Teachers)
Britepaths works with Campus Supply Kits to purchase high-quality, grade-appropriate supplies
at a fraction of retail cost, stretching your donation further than in-kind items. Each kit, vetted by
our partners at Educate Fairfax, includes more than a dozen essential tools for learning.
In 2025, Britepaths will host our first-ever Back To School Fair, where children will receive their backpacks and kits, enjoy reading activities, and get creative at our craft stations. Parents can also connect with our staff and volunteers to learn about additional support services.
This year, we are also honoring the educators who give so much. Sixty public school teachers
will receive Back to School bags filled with community essentials, as well as a $25 Staples gift card
to help stock their classrooms.
Thank you to our generous 2025 sponsors and partners!
