Remember the excitement of the first day of school? Your new notebooks, pencils and backpack? Share that memory by assisting a child who needs help getting ready for the next school year.

This year we will not be matching donors, directly to students due to social distancing guidelines; in addition to the fact that it has not been determined when/if schools will re-open.
As you recall in the past, back packs and school supplies were dropped off directly to elementary schools.
The following are ways that you can continue to donate to the Back to School program.
We are accepting donations via checks; made out to the DSS Back to School program, the address to send checks to is: Community Initiatives/Back to School Program, 80 West Street, Annapolis, MD 21401.
Or, you can click on the following link: AAC Back to School Program to sign up to make a Pay Pal donation.
All monies received will then be utilized to purchase gift cards to Target, Walmart and Office Depot. This will allow families to purchase the school items for their children for the 2020-2021 school year. As well as other items students may need such as headphones, lap boards, and accessories for their laptops for virtual learning.
Your donation is tax-deductible.
Since 1989, the Department of Social Services (DSS) has strived to provide a backpack and school supplies to every child in need. We continue with this year’s program; even though we recognize the changes in the programming due to the Covid-19 pandemic. We still thrive to assist those children in need at this time.
We can do this with your help!
