2025 Back to School Fund Drive

As the new school year approaches, Liam isn’t thinking about new sneakers or cool backpacks. He’s quietly wondering if he’ll even have a backpack at all. At just 9 years old, Liam should be excited about seeing his friends and meeting his new teacher. But instead, he’s worried. Living at The Shelter with his mom—who’s still searching for a job—Liam knows that school supplies and a clean uniform may be out of reach this year.

This is where you step in. As the 2025-26 school year approaches, we invite you to donate to our Back-to-School Fund to create an exciting first-day experience as well as provide supplies throughout the year for children like Liam. Any funding beyond these needs will be used to support educational activities for our families. Every donation brings hope and relief to families working hard to rebuild their lives.

You can mail a check to: The Shelter for Abused Women & Children, PO Box 10102, Naples, FL or donate on-line by CLICKING HERE. For more information or to discuss ways you can support our Back-to-School Fund, please contact Kim Butrico at (239) 775-3862 ext. 235, or email: kbutrico@naplesshelter.org.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
