Our backpacks stuffing event with the help of the De LaSalle Academy was a huge success! It was fulfilling to see so many volunteers come together to give back to our local teens in fostercare.

With the help of De LaSalle Academy of Ft Myers , we have a goal to stuff 135 backpacks for the Children's Network of Southwest Florida 's Operation Santa in 2025. The focus of this collaborative charity drive is for minors age 11+ (preteens and teens) in the local foster care system. Our backpacks are stuffed with items and activities that encourage skills development, social skills, and self-expression (i.e., self-care, self-sooth, self-entertain, fine motor, gross motor, sustained attention tasks, learning games and activities, school supplies, STEM/STEAM activities, etc.) Let's shower these kids with some love this season!
